Hello, I am a double graduate of NCA & T with a Bachelor of Social Work & Master in Counseling as first-generation college student. I have 20+ years’ experience in child welfare and family well-being. In which, I have a passion for helping others with emphasis on self-esteem, positive thinking, domestic violence, family dynamics & the impact of trauma & adverse childhood effects. I am a boy mom (human & fur baby) & for that reason, I love sports & enjoy cultivating males. & women empowerment!

I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.

My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who works with individuals navigating trauma, neurodivergence, substance use, relationship and marital challenges, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ populations. I use a variety of approaches including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based interventions, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Therapy is always tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families in school, community mental health, psychiatric, crisis, and hospital settings. I earned my social work education through advanced graduate training and am currently pursuing a Doctor of Social Work degree with a concentration in administrative leadership. I am licensed to practice social work in New York, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, family conflict, behavioral concerns, academic difficulties, relationship challenges, workplace stress, and major life transitions. I also have extensive experience helping adolescents and young adults improve emotional regulation, confidence, motivation, school engagement, and decision-making.

I understand that personal experiences, family relationships, culture, identity, community, and life circumstances all influence mental health. I strive to create an inclusive and respectful environment where clients from diverse backgrounds feel heard, understood, and supported. My greatest strengths are my ability to build genuine relationships, listen without judgment, identify practical solutions, and help clients recognize strengths they may not yet see in themselves.

You're accomplished, dependable, and often the person everyone turns to—but carrying it all can be exhausting. I work with professional women navigating anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, and major life transitions. For women who are used to being seen as “strong,” therapy can be a space where you don't have to perform or have it all figured out. Together, we'll explore what's beneath the stress, break unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping tools that fit your life. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, culturally responsive, and centered on you.
