Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia.

With three years of experience as a therapist and a background of 17 years in school counseling, I specialize in supporting individuals on their journey toward improved well-being and personal growth.

My focus areas include helping clients navigate anxiety, stress, and self-care concerns, aiming to enhance their overall quality of life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use a person-centered approach to help my clients develop self-awareness, improve interpersonal solutions, and discover solutions. Through active listening, reflection, and empathetic understanding, I create a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. This process allows them to gain insights into their emotions, behaviors, and patterns, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients learn to embrace their true identities and values, paving the way for personal growth and fulfillment. Rather than offering advice or directives, I facilitate a process of self-discovery and problem-solving. Through reflective questioning, active listening, and exploring alternative perspectives, clients gain clarity, identify their strengths, and develop effective coping strategies.
