Psychologist

I help people heal from trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma, and I’ve been honored to support a wide range of individuals — including women, men, military veterans, and LGBTQIA clients — as they work through their experiences and take meaningful steps toward healing. I also enjoy helping people work through challenging life transitions (e.g., parenthood, divorce, etc.) and identity-specific concerns (e.g., men's issues, women's issues, gender identity exploration). In addition to individual therapy, I also provide relationship therapy for monogamous, non-monogamous, and open relationships as well as psychological assessment (e.g., ADHD, dementia, learning disorder, mental health) for adults.

Therapist

Virtual • Kannapolis, NC


If you’re an individual who is currently stuck or in a life transition, I’m here to help you maximize your true potential, find your clear purpose and release the power within. Life transitions and challenges are personal and unique. And although they can be abrupt and sometimes predictable, we all experience them throughout our lives. Stressors are often emotional taxing changes that create uncertainty and confusion. These life changing events cause us to re-examine our present sense of being and evaluate our priorities. I will help you envision the future that you want, create goals, then help you pursue those goals. To realize this plan, you’ll need a coach, a partner, an ally during the difficult process of transition. You are the expert! You know yourself! I ask powerful questions and help to facilitate positive change. I am committed to serving you as your accountability partner, therapist, and ally during this time of uncertainty and definite change. As your therapist, I can help you develop healthy coping mechanisms to adapt to the stress surrounding your current circumstances.


I have extensive experience in providing the tools, strategies, and support to help others create meaningful change in their lives. As a professional certified life coach, entrepreneur, licensed clinical mental health counselor and part time professor, I know first-hand, the challenges of struggling to find balance, ignite passion and seting goals. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education from UNC-Charlotte. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, (LCMHC) a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS). I have three years of teaching experience at a local university teaching graduate students in the field of counseling. I am experienced psychotherapist whom specializes in child and adolescent behavioral therapy, military families, trauma, addiction counseling, parenting, mood disorders, and counselor training & supervision.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Greensboro

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Greensboro starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly states experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, gender-diverse clients, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may also mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience supporting transgender, nonbinary, queer, and gender-expansive people. These details can help you find a therapist whose training, specialties, and approach match what you want from care.

Greensboro offers both local and virtual therapy options, which can help widen your search for an affirming therapist. In a mid-size city, the right fit may be nearby, or you may prefer a virtual appointment with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and any background or identity details that matter to you. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and experience with LGBTQIA+ communities.

Therapy in Greensboro can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and see estimated costs after you enter your coverage details. From there, you can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
