I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) in the state of North Carolina. I have earned a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mount Olive. My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, Bi-polar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, trauma, and family dynamics. I have 13 years of experience working with the substance abuse population.
I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.
My work centers on helping individuals reconnect with who they are at their core—beyond survival, expectations, or systems that may have shaped them. I integrate emotional wellness, identity exploration, and purpose-driven growth into our work together.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.

I am a fun-loving, deep-thinking helper who is here to support you in identifying and achieving your therapy goals! I've practiced in New York, where I received my Master's Degree, and North Carolina, and I specialize in relational work to move past stressors getting in the way of achieving your potential in life.
I began working in the field of Mental Health in 2004, serving the female population. After three years, I decided to make this a career choice and studied at Springfield College to earn a master’s degree as a Mental Health Counselor. The first paid position I accepted was offered by a non-profit in Brandon, FL, where I served as a Group Facilitator and Counselor to adult and adolescent populations. In this position, I discovered my passion for counseling and helping others grow.

In the middle of college, at 19, I found myself in rehab, struggling with multiple addictions. This rerouted me from my dreams of Broadway to sparking a 30+ year career in the fields of prevention, early intervention and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment with adolescents and adults, in therapeutic schools, as a middle and high school counselor, and as a parenting coach.
I’m licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Prevention Specialist, and certified in Digital Health & Wellness. It's also important you know that my own family and close social circle are diverse humans, and I'm comfortable and specially trained to work with LGBTQ+, racial, cultural and religious diversity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Greensboro
Finding the right addiction therapist in Greensboro starts with understanding the type of support that fits your situation. Licensed providers who specialize in addiction and substance use may focus on areas like alcohol use, opioid dependence, or behavioral addictions. Some use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or motivational interviewing, while others draw on mindfulness-based or trauma-informed methods. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background and approach before you reach out.
Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions at a Greensboro office or virtual appointments from home. Look for a provider whose availability works with your schedule, and check whether they accept your insurance plan. These details can make the difference between starting care and putting it off.
Addiction counseling in Greensboro can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
