As a licensed therapist in North Carolina and California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach is deeply compassionate and affirming, with a focus on helping clients navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and personal growth.
I bring a trauma-informed, person-centered perspective to my practice, creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for healing. My work centers on empowering clients to build self-love, improve communication, and address issues like social anxiety, isolation, and life transitions.
I'm particularly passionate about working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and those experiencing workplace stress, relationship challenges, and personal identity exploration. My therapeutic style emphasizes respect, authenticity, and collaborative growth, helping clients discover their inner strengths and create positive change.
Through evidence-based practices, I support clients in developing resilience, understanding themselves more deeply, and moving toward a more fulfilling life. I believe every individual has unique potential, and I'm committed to walking alongside you in your journey of self-discovery and healing.

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.
