I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with Adolescents, Adults, Families, and Veterans. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters healing, growth, and self-actualization.
For the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adults, and families as they navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story. I have supported patients with managing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship stress, family conflict, and trauma. My approach is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you at your own pace, offering encouragement and support throughout your journey.
I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Towson University.
I obtained my BSW (Bachelor of Social Work) and BA in Psychology from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (2004). I moved forward to obtain my MSW in 2008 at The University of Georgia and my Education Specialist Degree in 2011.
I am committed to help individuals develop, become aware of their inner strengths, and heal. Therapeutic modalities include; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy while incorporating other Psychodynamic approaches.
I am licensed by the State of North Carolina as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Addictions Specialist. It is my goal as a therapist to assist individuals on their journey of finding more balance in life. I have over a decade of experience in mental health and specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also offer distance counseling and nature based therapy for individuals who would benefit from the flexibility due to busy schedules or prefer therapy outside of a conventional office setting. I strive to help individuals address feelings of being overwhelmed by life's demands and begin working towards the life they envision for themselves.
I specialize in supporting high-achieving, people-pleasing, ultra-compassionate health care professionals who can no longer continue to do it all BUT aren't sure how to do less, and need support to figure it out. Drawing on my own experience in medical settings, I lead with authenticity, humor, and research-based practices aimed at meaningful transformation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina
Searching for therapists in North Carolina means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare North Carolina therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Your options for therapy in North Carolina may look different in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting with a therapist in person, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or access to more therapists licensed in North Carolina. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
The cost of mental health care in North Carolina varies, and therapy can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors in North Carolina who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
