For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest

moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you

invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something

worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South

Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a

blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where

you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out! As a therapist, I work with men, teens, and couples who are tired of carrying pain alone — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.

My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.

Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.

You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.

After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.
