- LCMHC, LPC
As a licensed therapist in North Carolina and South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering young adults and women through transformative therapeutic experiences. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem.
My work is deeply rooted in understanding the unique intersections of personal identity, life purpose, and emotional wellness. I'm particularly passionate about helping clients work through isolation, communication barriers, and personal growth challenges. Drawing from a holistic perspective, I create a supportive environment that honors each individual's journey toward healing and self-discovery.
With a commitment to culturally affirming care, I strive to provide a safe, understanding space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with genuine empathy, focusing on your individual strengths and potential for growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
