About

I am a mental health therapist licensed in the state of North Carolina with over 10 years of experience working as a professional counselor and life coach. I started working in a community setting with the pediatric population and their families in the Intensive In Home setting. Transitioning to outpatient at a Community Hospital in EAP, I continued working with the pediatric population and adults. I have worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work life balance , premarital counseling , marriage and parenting challenges, career challenges and transitions, OCD, and ADHD.


My therapy style is person centered to enhance the therapeutic relationship. I focus on creating a safe space to explore a client's concerns and develop therapeutic goals. I provide a supportive nonjudgmental space with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approaches are evidence based and combine short term brief solution focused therapy , cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic , and mindfulness approaches. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
