- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of North Carolina. I graduated and received my BSW from NC A&T State University and my MSW from the University of NC at Chapel Hill. I have experience working with families experiencing conflict. I also have experience working with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting issues, and foster care. I combine solution-focused interventions, cognitive behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to assist in producing change.
Every step one person takes whether big or small leads them closer to their life purpose. Let us take those steps together. If you are looking for someone who is willing to listen, non-judgmental, empathic, caring and believes that everyone story matters than let us work together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
