I’m a down-to-earth therapist who believes real healing happens through genuine connection. Therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff, clinical, or intimidating—I show up as a real human, and I invite you to do the same. My style is informal, compassionate, and grounded in respect for your lived experience. We can laugh when it’s helpful, sit quietly when things feel heavy, and talk honestly about what you’re going through without pressure to “stay positive” or have it all figured out.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University. My clinical experience spans emergency departments, hospitals, and community-based behavioral health settings, where I have supported adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use concerns, and complex medical or psychiatric challenges.
As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.
I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.
I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.
Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

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.
