- LCMHC
I am licensed in North Carolina with over 5 years of professional counseling experience. I have experience in outpatient and inpatient settings, helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, & veteran and relationship issues.
I work primarily from a person-centered and existential orientation while also drawing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I also use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) in my work with trauma and the Gottman method for couples.
My goal is to highlight a person’s strengths and achievements to aid in developing healthy coping mechanisms for stress management, dealing with hardships, and trauma. To accomplish this a person must challenge and examine their own thoughts and feelings about themselves and their world. A new perspective can aid in discovering tools to overcome obstacles and empower them to make healthier decisions in life.
Counseling is a challenging process and takes time, but can lead to a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to our journey together.

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.
