Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Boone, NC covered by Aetna

Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.

Welcome! My style is warm and eclectic. I draw from a variety of evidenced-based models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address your concerns and distressing symptoms. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I enjoy integrating aspects of yoga, including mindfulness and a mind/body approach into therapy where appropriate.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience. I’m licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. My experience began in a dual-diagnosis hospital with adolescents facing chronic illness and mental health challenges. "Social work chose me as a way to live out my purpose of helping others find hope and healing".

Life has a way of changing us, sometimes in ways we never expected. My passion is helping people navigate those moments with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with the person you've always been beneath the stress, pain, burnout, or life transitions.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, relationship challenges, grief, substance use recovery, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. You don't have to have all the answers before you walk through my door.

My clients often describe me as genuine, compassionate, easy to talk to, and someone who isn't afraid to bring a little humor into the healing process. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and approachable. Sometimes the most powerful moments happen after we've laughed together.

Above all, I want you to know this:

You don't have to navigate life's journey alone.

Thanks for stopping by. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach. If anxiety, depression, trauma, identity stress, or patterns in relationships have left you feeling stuck or exhausted, you’re not alone. Many people seek support when everyday life or past experiences feel heavy, when communication with loved ones breaks down, or when coping feels more reactive than intentional. I work with teens and adults across differences in culture, identity, and life experiences to help you find steadier ground and more meaningful connection in your relationships and your sense of self.

Life is full of transitions, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, a major life change, or rebuilding after incarceration, my goal is to provide compassionate, judgment-free care that meets you where you are. I believe treatment should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms. Together we’ll create a plan that supports your mental wellness while helping you build the life you want, with medication management, therapy, and practical resources tailored to your needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, and more than 20 years of experience supporting youth and families across home, school, and community settings.

I work with individuals and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral concerns, trauma, school-related stress, life transitions, family conflict, and concerns related to safety and emotional well-being.

My approach to counseling is practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals and families feel supported while also developing tools, insight, and healthy patterns that promote long-term growth.

When working with children and teens, I value partnering with parents and caregivers as an important part of the process, and not to be pushed aside during the treatment process of any minor.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, my goal is to provide a thoughtful, supportive space where meaningful progress can take place.
