I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of NC. I have been practicing in NC since June of 2006 and have held many roles in my career in the field of counseling. I am a firm believer that a counselor is someone who can hold space for others and help them find the answers that they already know but just need support in getting there.
Throughout my 20-year career, I have worked with children, teenagers, young/middle-aged and elderly adults, families, and couples. I have a heart for teenagers, young adults/women, and especially single mothers.
I am energetic, passionate, a deep feeler, and love to laugh. I believe my client is the most important person in the room (or on the screen) and I also wholeheartedly believe that the client already possesses everything he/she/they need to move forward, but they just need someone who is not afraid to walk that journey with them to get there.

At the core, that is what I believe therapy is. Helping people move towards healing and wholeness, but sometimes knowing that just means holding space for someone, showing up for them, and sitting with them in their pain. I am thoroughly trained in various theoretical approaches such as CBT/DBT.

I am energetic, passionate, a deep-feeler, and love to laugh. I am not afraid to ask hard questions, and I am upfront and blunt, but genuine and kind. Therapy isn't always about shedding tears and talking about the trauma; it's also about recognizing and celebrating the joy and the growth throughout the process.
