As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, and significant life transitions with compassion and expertise.
I have extensive experience working with older adults and individuals facing challenges related to aging, chronic health conditions, and social isolation. My practice focuses on helping clients develop meaningful coping strategies, improve communication skills, and rediscover personal purpose.
My therapeutic style is grounded in understanding each person's unique journey. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, work through social anxieties, and develop resilience.

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.
