About me

As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My practice focuses on addressing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and ADHD with a compassionate and personalized approach. I'm particularly committed to working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, first responders, and those experiencing social isolation or life transitions.

My therapeutic approach centers on creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I have extensive experience supporting individuals through challenges such as communication difficulties, social anxiety, sexuality concerns, chronic pain, and relationship dynamics.

I bring a deep understanding of multicultural perspectives and am dedicated to providing inclusive, non-judgmental support. Whether you're struggling with trauma, addiction, relationship issues, or seeking personal development, I'm here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional expertise.
