Great to meet you!

Hello, I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) dedicated to working with clients to address and improve mental health concerns. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina University.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I welcome and affirm all expressions of identity. As a person-centered therapist, I strive to treat every client with respect and unconditional positive regard. It is not my job to judge you. It is my job to help you feel better and live your life to its fullest potential.

What you can expect from our first session

It is my hope that my clients will fell safe, comfortable, and heard during our therapy sessions. While I cannot make any guarantees as to therapeutic outcomes, I can promise to do my best to meet you were you are at and to provide realistic solutions to address your concerns.
