As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and interpersonal dynamics with compassionate, personalized care.
I have extensive expertise in working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, survivors of trauma, and those experiencing life transformations. My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each person's unique journey, focusing on healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
My therapeutic work spans a wide range of concerns, from social anxiety and relationship challenges to chronic pain, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions. I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength.
Through collaborative, evidence-based techniques, I help individuals build self-love, overcome isolation, and reconnect with their life's purpose. My goal is to empower clients to move beyond their current struggles and create meaningful, fulfilling lives.
