I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I have experience working with borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, chronic illness, and life transitions. I use a blend of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to support your specific needs; whether that’s managing emotional intensity, reducing self-destructive patterns, or finding stability.
Healing may not be linear, and may even be a little messy, but it is possible- I invite you to reach out when you’re ready to take that next step.
I am an LCSW with 5+ years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and women's issues. I work with adults across the lifespan, including those managing ADD/ADHD, family conflict, and identity transitions. My approach centers on creating insight, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building the practical skills you need to live the life you choose. I earned my MSW from Florida State University and have experience working with youth, adults, and families in outpatient and community mental health settings. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a genuine investment in your growth to every session.
My intention is to provide a judgment-free space where we can talk about what is going on and collaborate to move forwards in the best way possible. I am flexible in my approach to counseling, and I tailor my counseling style based on the needs of each person I work with. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients (age, gender, concerns, etc.) and I am passionate about what I do. I am into fitness and healthy lifestyle, and I support my clients with creating their own foundation of wellness.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.
I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.
I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.
I am a Developmental Psychologist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years of clinical experience who excels in helping others connect the dots and make positive changes in their lives. I have had a front row seat to difficult times, and I know there can be a way out.
I have over two decades of Social Work experience. I have worked in high school settings for over 20 years with a variety of students to include: LGBTQ+, anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, ADHD, and teen parenting. Prior to working in the school setting, I worked with homeless families as well as domestic violence victims.
Mindfully focused to connect your presenting concern to your system, my style is to meet you where you are whether you need me to explain what we’re doing, or simply direct you. My approach is practical, direct, and occasionally humorous — I believe real progress happens when you feel are both, supported and challenged, not just listened to.
Over 30 years I've worked with individuals, couples, and families through some of the hardest seasons of life: chronic illness, painful grief, relationship breakdowns, severe ADHD, life hindering eating disorders, destructive anger, and major life transitions.
I singly raised my three children, and came to realize clinical training doesn’t compare to life experience... theory helps it’s just not enough to capture the big picture.
I've also spent significant time working with military families and first responders, rich in life experience. They seem to prefer my steady, no-nonsense mindset at times.
Also, a well trained 15 year-old Australian Shepherd occasionally joins sessions — let me know if you'd prefer this.
Above all, I want my clients to know that my priority is to create a space where they feel safe being fully and authentically themselves. As a gay man, I understand the importance of having spaces where identity does not need to be explained, defended, or minimized, and I hope to create that sense of safety for each of my clients. I welcome LGBTQ+ adults and young adults, and I offer affirming therapy where who you are is the starting point, not something you have to justify.
Professionally, I am a Miami-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to clients across Florida. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work in Indianapolis and my Master of Social Work in Miami. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with people navigating some of life's most difficult moments.
My experience includes providing therapeutic services within a homeless shelter's substance use treatment program, as well as working in an inpatient hospital setting. I have supported individuals through addiction and substance use recovery, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, medical crises, and major life transitions. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), harm reduction, solution-focused brief therapy, and positive psychology, and I tailor my approach to what actually fits your life and goals. I am no stranger to difficult conversations, and I want my clients to know that no thought or feeling is unwelcome in our therapeutic space.
Every individual, regardless of background, identity, or lived experience, is welcome in my practice. Whether you are working through recovery, grieving a loss, managing anxiety or depression, or facing a major life change, I would be glad to support you.
I look forward to meeting you!
