You don't have to have everything figured out to begin healing. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to build a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your values. I believe healing happens through a collaborative relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My approach is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed, integrating evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), polyvagal-informed interventions (PVT), mindfulness-based strategies, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client's unique needs.

I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John's University in New York City. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across community mental health, intensive outpatient treatment programs, Head Start consultation, and private practice. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns while helping clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting, meaningful change.

For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest

moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you

invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something

worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South

Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a

blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where

you are and help you build toward where you want to be.
