- LCMHC, LCPC, LPC
As a licensed therapist serving North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and cultural sensitivity. I have extensive experience supporting women, young adults, and veterans as they explore challenges like social anxiety, self-love, and personal growth.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I create a warm, affirming space where clients can explore difficult emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support individuals in healing from past experiences and building stronger, more fulfilling futures.
With a deep commitment to culturally responsive care, I honor the diverse experiences and identities of those I serve. Whether you're struggling with mood disorders, processing grief, or seeking guidance through significant life changes, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

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.
