As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in therapy for ADD/ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, and depression.
My passion stems from personal experience with ADHD and Autism and has inspired my career path. I combine evidence based techniques with warmth and empathy, helping clients understand themselves from a clinical perspective.
I call my counseling practice "Wit's End" because that's often the point at which we turn to help. It pauses the conversation for a moment. It is the moment we "hiccup" and turn to curiosity. That's why I'm here. With cleverness, kindness, and hope, we will sit together and navigate what brought you here and how you can move through.
I specifically like to work with couples, adults, parents, every type of relationship, those in chronic pain, and those who are departing some sort of community.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlotte
