I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, families, and military/vets in need of mental health services. I am fully licensed in North Carolina.

My favorite clinical modality is solution-focused therapy (SFT). During your first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and best ways to help you progress. SFT is a short-term, evidence-based approach focused on current circumstances and future hopes. The goal is to find solutions that put your mind at ease in ways you never dreamed possible.

You didn't choose this struggle, but you don't have to face it alone. With over 11 years as a counselor and a background spanning school counseling to rehabilitation, I help clients find strength and clarity in difficult moments. As a single mom and cancer survivor, I know how hard healing can be, and I'd be honored to help. Reach out when you're ready.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky after completing my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Fayetteville State University. My clinical experience includes work in psychosocial rehabilitation and day treatment settings, where I utilized CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, and person-centered approaches.

I believe meaningful change happens through collaboration, trust, and consistency. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build coping skills, and work toward improved mental health and overall well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your journey and invite you to schedule a session with me.
