Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and work with adults who want a supportive, reflective space to better understand themselves and navigate life’s challenges. I support clients experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, parenting challenges, and major life transitions.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and teens which provides a valuable perspective in my work with adults who are parents. I enjoy working with parents who want to better understand their children, strengthen connection and feel more confident navigating the often complicated demands of parenting.

I offer teletherapy to adults located in North Carolina.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Greensboro, NC


Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or a "last ditch effort" to get help, I believe I can support you. When you are working with me, and yes, therapy is work, it is my hope that you will feel warmth, genuineness, and judgment-free compassion from me. Just the concept of feeling heard can be quite powerful in itself. I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches but I do not believe in a cookie-cutter approach to clients, and will tailor my interventions to your needs.

Are you experiencing periods of sadness or feeling anxious? Or maybe you have a child who is having some difficulties? What about that recent event in your life that has got you down? When life happens, it is often difficult to move forward. However, creating a positive shift and discovering a new way of living after life’s circumstances is possible. My commitment to you as a therapist is to meet you where you are, help you visualize the change you desire, and guide you in taking the steps necessary towards a more positive way of living.


I look forward to working with you!
