- LCMHC
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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
