I am a Licensed Clinical Mental health Counselor who works with adults and adolescents. Taking the first steps towards working with a counselor can be a very intimidating process and takes a lot of courage. My first goal when embarking on this journey with a client is to make the experience as comfortable and safe as possible. I feel incredibly honored to be a part of this journey with my clients, which is why I put such an emphasis on first building a trusting and collaborative relationship that will help empower them in their healing process. I love working with adolescents and young adults during what is both a very interesting and challenging time in their lives. The human experience can be difficult to navigate, especially during these stages of life. It is my goal to provide a safe space where clients don’t have to face it alone.

There is great power in the therapeutic relationship alone that can foster healing and growth.  I work primarily from a person-centered approach, meaning I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and have within themselves the ability to heal and overcome whatever challenges they may face. As a counselor it is my goal to empower clients by providing a safe, empathetic, judgement free space, in which they can explore themselves and start their healing process. I consider the mind-body connection to be very important in healing. I often use holistic approaches to improve these connections incorporating mindfulness, physical movement, and more hands on, creative techniques, in addition to talk therapy. Lastly, I operate from the belief that each client is unique and therefore has different needs when it comes to their healing process. This means the approaches I use are very individualized to best fit the needs of each client.

I have a master’s degree from Winthrop University in Education and Development with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC).

I am honored to be a part of your journey and look forward to beginning our relationship together.
