Hi! I am currently accepting new clients. Reach out today for a free consult. I look forward to learning more about you!

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients across North Carolina. I specialize in providing therapy to individuals who are seeking help related to anxiety, depression and life transitions. I welcome people of any color, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. My goal is to create a safe space for you to grow. Let’s work together to effectively identify and process emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking, and change behavior patterns. With this growth you will experience positive change in all areas of your life, and feel more confident to tackle life’s challenges. I have immediate availability for online therapy sessions in NC. Teletherapy offers unique benefits such as being able to engage in a session while in the comfort of your own space, as well as offers a convenience by eliminating commute times and waiting rooms. I have been offering teletherapy since 2017 and absolutely love this platform. As a college student, it is convenient to be able to engage in therapy while on campus or at home. My goal is to meet you where you are, wherever that may be. I care about you and your story. You can trust that I will treat you with respect, dignity and compassion in every interaction. This is your time to reach your fullest potential. If you are ready to take the next step, please reach out to me today.
