I’m the kind of therapist who sees past “I’m fine” and hears what you’re not saying. I work with women who are used to being the strong one, carrying it all, taking care of everyone else yet inside, you’re tired, anxious, or feeling disconnected from yourself. In our sessions, you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to show up as you are, be honest about what’s weighing on you, and start doing the work to heal at the root. Expect real talk, genuine support, and tools you can actually use in real life.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in NC, SC, FL, and NJ holding a Master of Social Work. I’ve worked in hospitals, schools, confinement settings and community mental health, and those experiences taught me how complex, layered, and personal healing can be. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, using a warm, direct, and culturally responsive approach. I also facilitate group therapy and provide clinical supervision for associate-level clinicians who want to grow with confidence and authenticity.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed with life, exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event? Perhaps you struggle with a chronic illness. Maybe you struggle with a difficult child or teen. Or maybe your partner has been unfaithful. Are you tired of feeling isolated and hopeless? You want- no, you need- things to change, but you don’t where to begin. Asking for help can be one of the most difficulty things to do, but I would be honored to help you discover your inner strength and begin your journey to healing and being who you are meant to be.


I have received training in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for managing bipolar disorders as well as certification as a clinical trauma professional. A nationally certified counselor, I am also a member of LPC Association of NC and the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP).


I am passionate about helping people triumph over trauma, learn mindfulness-based practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, understand the relationship among our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (CBT) and learn to tolerate distress in their lives.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Carrboro, NC


I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.

I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.

Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.

Do you dream of the days when you were your "old self "? Do you feel stuck? Are you trying to navigate new spaces in your life ? Do you dream of the days when you and your partner felt so connected and in love? Lately, miscommunications, arguments, or life stressors have created distance, leaving you feeling disconnected and out of sync. You are not alone. I work with couples and individuals just like you who want to learn how to strengthen communication skills, honor their needs, and set healthy boundaries to reignite the love and intimacy in their relationships or simply within themselves. With over 15 years of working with couples and individuals struggling with relationship and life stressors, I’ve helped many people find clarity and a path forward. I have a deep passion for guiding individuals and partners from anger, resentment, insecurity, disappointment and distrust to forgiveness, understanding, self-improvement and connection in their relationship with others and/or themselves. I would love to help you get through this tough time. If you are struggling with how you show up in your relationships or for yourself. I invite you to reach out today. It’s time to heal, rebuild, and reconnect so you can fight for the love and connections you truly deserve.

My Experience I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Winston-Salem State University in 2006 and my Master's of Social Work from the University of South Carolina in 2012. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients, including adults and couples.

When I’m not in therapist mode, I’m... Living an active life and traveling the world. As a world traveler, I consider myself culturally well-rounded. I am originally from South Carolina, but I’ve made Charlotte my home.

I'm a therapist who believes real change happens in the space between people, not on a worksheet. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, grief, and the quiet exhaustion of carrying things alone. With 7 years of experience, I bring EMDR, IFS, and deep relational work to every session, but more than any modality, I bring genuine curiosity about you as a person. If you're ready to stop hitting the same wall and start understanding

why it's there, I'd love to work alongside you.
