I work primarily with Christian women who feel overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life—especially those navigating chronic health challenges alongside anxiety, depression, burnout, or grief. You may feel like taking care of your health, your responsibilities, your relationships, and your faith has become a full-time job, and you're tired of always feeling behind.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with specialized training in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Financial Social Worker who helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where healing and growth can take place.

In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous experience, affecting individuals across various walks of life. My ideal client embodies this struggle—someone grappling with the relentless pressures and demands of daily living. Such clients often find themselves feeling on edge, unable to quiet their minds, and burdened with a sense of lethargy that paralyzes their motivation. Understanding the intricacies of their experience is crucial to providing the support they need on their journey toward well-being.

Stress manifests in myriad ways, and for my ideal client, it often creates an incessant whirlwind of thoughts that disrupts their peace of mind. These spiraling thoughts can be overwhelming, leading to a cycle of worry and anxiety that is difficult to escape. It is not uncommon for individuals in this state to feel trapped in a never-ending loop of “what ifs,” replaying past events or catastrophizing future scenarios. This overwhelming mental activity can leave one feeling drained and exhausted, reducing their ability to engage meaningfully with life.

Low motivation is another significant aspect of my ideal client's experience. Simple tasks that once felt manageable now seem monumental. The energy that once fueled productivity and happiness is replaced with a fog of fatigue and apathy. This disengagement often exacerbates feelings of guilt and inadequacy, creating a vicious cycle where clients feel even more stressed and demotivated because they perceive themselves as failing to meet their own expectations. The internal dialogue frequently becomes excessively critical, with clients telling themselves they should be doing better or that others are more successful.

It is actually difficult to say what my "ideal client" would be- an individual who is willing to look at the hard and scary stuff- face it- grow from it- put it beside them and no longer allow it to be what they see the world through. They desire to increase their self-awareness and make changes based on their increased self-awareness- thus finding more comfort in their own skin.
