Hi and welcome!
You have taken the courageous step to a happier and healthier life...good for you!
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 20 plus years of experience and am excited to work with you. Some of my specific areas of focus include depression and anxiety, family and relationship issues, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. My approach is simple and straight forward...I believe it is crucial to have a trusting relationship with your therapist. Through that relationship we will take a journey of discovery and transformation together. And along the way we will conquer the issues that are holding you back or simply stressing you out.
In therapy I typically utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing with a general sense of Person Centered Therapy in which the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance.
I began my career working in Substance Abuse running several treatment programs in Florida and North Carolina. Eventually I started my own general counseling practice in North Carolina where I spent many years working with adults, children and families. Most of my time with clients was focused on stress related issues, depression & anxiety, trauma, and relationship and family dynamics.
I look forward to starting this journey with you!

I’m so thankful I found her. From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and never judged. She listens with compassion, asks thoughtful questions, and has already helped me start looking at situations from a healthier perspective. I leave each session feeling encouraged, understood, and with practical tools I can actually use. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who truly cares.
