Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Are you experiencing periods of sadness or feeling anxious? Or maybe you have a child who is having some difficulties? What about that recent event in your life that has got you down? When life happens, it is often difficult to move forward. However, creating a positive shift and discovering a new way of living after life’s circumstances is possible. My commitment to you as a therapist is to meet you where you are, help you visualize the change you desire, and guide you in taking the steps necessary towards a more positive way of living.


I look forward to working with you!
