Therapists in North Carolina

I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help you grow, heal, and cope with the challenges of life.You don’t have to put it off anymore. I help children, teens, adults, couples and families find relief from anxiety, stress and worry so they can find more peace and joy in their relationships and their lives. With counseling, each conversation is an opportunity to understand yourself better, develop relationships, laugh more often, feel optimistic about your life, plus incorporating solution-focused strategies that can make a difference everyday. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psycho-dynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I attended NC A&T State University, University of Illinois and Clark-Atlanta University and I have been practicing for over 15 years.
