Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm a Licensed Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and families across North Carolina and South Carolina. Helping people heal has been my life's work — and that passion extends beyond the therapy room. I'm also the co-author of Your Feelings Matter: A Story for Children Who Have Witnessed Domestic Violence, a children's book close to my heart. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me traveling and soaking in new cultures.
