Couples therapists in Charlotte, NC

I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.

Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University. My clinical experience spans emergency departments, hospitals, and community-based behavioral health settings, where I have supported adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use concerns, and complex medical or psychiatric challenges.

I have counseling work experience in residential, community agency, college counseling center and outpatient settings. I have experience with adolescents and adults, providing personal, psychoeducational and psychosocial counseling services. I also have experience in working with families and caregivers. Additionally, I have experience working with adults in crisis and with substance abuse problems. I am licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate. In addition, I am Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II and Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider. I have worked in the mental health field for over twenty years. I graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University with a Master of Science degree in Counseling (Agency) in 2009. I received my Associate Licensure in 2012 and worked under supervision until receiving full licensure in 2018.
