Everyone has a story to tell and I look forward to hearing yours.

I worked as a psychiatric-mental health nurse for seven years before becoming a nurse practitioner. I have the utmost respect, empathy, and compassion for all the patients I have encountered while working as a nurse. I have cared for individuals with substance abuse use disorders, psychiatric disorders, personality, mood, and various behavioral disorders.

We all just want to find that light in the darkness that will point us toward the life we were meant to lead.

Thank you for being courageous and taking the first step to improve your mental health.

I am a very compassionate and professional Nurse Practitioner that has treated mental health conditions and substance use for over 10 years.

As a wife and mother of 3 adopted children, one who identifies with they/them pronouns and is in a same sex marriage, I have experience with diversity.

This journey called life is filled with many adventures, some good and some bad. I am glad you chose me to help you navigate through your path.

I can teach you the power of self-preservation and how essential it is to your overall mental health.

I am a dedicated licensed clinical mental health counselor passionate about helping others work toward their identified therapeutic goals.

As an African American woman of a certain age, I understand the complexities of maintaining home/work life, while trying to balance everyday stressors.

Change is a life-long journey requiring acceptance and commitment to motivate oneself towards change.

As someone who is part of the LGBTQIA+ community and who struggles with her own anxiety, I understand how challenging life can sometimes get and how important it is to have someone to talk to!

I am passionate about partnering with others in their pursuit of mental wellness because of the peace I have found on my own journey, but I understand that each path is unique.

As part of this post-COVID world, I understand how things can be chaotic and challenging.

I'm excited to get the opportunity to work with you! Here are a few things you may need to know before your first appointment. If you choose to do a virtual appointment, you must be residing in North Carolina, which is the state in which I am licensed to provide services. This is not a concern if you are choosing to come in person for appointments. If you are seeking play therapy for a child, this is provided in person only due to the nature of the way service is provided, making it a service that does not lend itself to virtual appointments. This is not a concern for traditional talk therapy with adults, which can be provided virtually.

I am a strength-based professional who will be your personal cheerleader for your emotional growth and healing!
