I have counseling work experience in residential, community agency, college counseling center and outpatient settings. I have experience with adolescents and adults, providing personal, psychoeducational and psychosocial counseling services. I also have experience in working with families and caregivers. Additionally, I have experience working with adults in crisis and with substance abuse problems. I am licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate. In addition, I am Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II and Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider. I have worked in the mental health field for over twenty years. I graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University with a Master of Science degree in Counseling (Agency) in 2009. I received my Associate Licensure in 2012 and worked under supervision until receiving full licensure in 2018.

I help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, self-doubt, trauma, or major life changes find steadiness again. My clients are often caring, capable people who feel stuck in survival mode—wanting peace but unsure how to get there. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and rebuild a sense of ease and confidence. We will also look back at how early life experiences shaped the way you see yourself and others, so we can shift old beliefs and habits that no longer serve you. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative—you’ll never have to face your struggles alone.

I guide people to make sense of what’s going on inside—the racing thoughts, the heaviness, the tension that lives in the body, and the patterns that keep repeating—and turn that insight into real change. We’ll build tools to calm your mind, regulate emotions, and set boundaries that actually stick.

Hello! I work with individuals seeking to find clarity on their mental health, maladaptive behaviors, and direction in life. With a PhD in clinical psychology and extensive training in mood disorders, substance use, and trauma, I help my clients to develop understanding of their cycle of falling into old unhelpful habits and find solutions that promote change.

Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.

Welcome! My style is warm and eclectic. I draw from a variety of evidenced-based models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address your concerns and distressing symptoms. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I enjoy integrating aspects of yoga, including mindfulness and a mind/body approach into therapy where appropriate.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience. I’m licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. My experience began in a dual-diagnosis hospital with adolescents facing chronic illness and mental health challenges. "Social work chose me as a way to live out my purpose of helping others find hope and healing".

Life has a way of changing us, sometimes in ways we never expected. My passion is helping people navigate those moments with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with the person you've always been beneath the stress, pain, burnout, or life transitions.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, relationship challenges, grief, substance use recovery, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. You don't have to have all the answers before you walk through my door.

My clients often describe me as genuine, compassionate, easy to talk to, and someone who isn't afraid to bring a little humor into the healing process. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and approachable. Sometimes the most powerful moments happen after we've laughed together.

Above all, I want you to know this:

You don't have to navigate life's journey alone.

Thanks for stopping by. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach. If anxiety, depression, trauma, identity stress, or patterns in relationships have left you feeling stuck or exhausted, you’re not alone. Many people seek support when everyday life or past experiences feel heavy, when communication with loved ones breaks down, or when coping feels more reactive than intentional. I work with teens and adults across differences in culture, identity, and life experiences to help you find steadier ground and more meaningful connection in your relationships and your sense of self.

Life is full of transitions, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, divorce, a major life change, or rebuilding after incarceration, my goal is to provide compassionate, judgment-free care that meets you where you are. I believe treatment should focus on the whole person—not just symptoms. Together we’ll create a plan that supports your mental wellness while helping you build the life you want, with medication management, therapy, and practical resources tailored to your needs.
