As a Christian Counselor, holistic practitioner, and life coach envisioning my ideal client involves understanding their multifaceted needs and aspirations. My ideal client seeks healing and growth not only on a cognitive and emotional level but also on a spiritual and physical level. They come to me with a desire to address not just the symptoms of their struggles, but the root causes, seeking deeper understanding and meaning in their journey towards wellness. Their goals may vary, from overcoming specific challenges such as anxiety or depression to achieving a sense of balance, purpose, and connection in their lives.

Many of us grew up with the idea that sex and gender identity are topics best kept quiet, creating silence and stigma around these issues. This often leaves people feeling alone or unsure of where to turn when they face challenges. That’s where sex therapy can make a difference. Imagine a space where you can openly talk about anything, including sexual health, relationships, intimacy, or gender identity, without fear of judgment. At Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, you’ll find a supportive environment designed to help you explore these important topics, gain valuable insights, and work towards a more fulfilling, connected life.

I'm not for everyone and every situation... I specialize in therapy and coaching for executives, couples, and companies who are highly motivated to get unstuck by doing a lot of work in a short period of time through in-person intensives or by secure video. I focus primarily on helping stabilize situations, create clarity about next steps, and crafting an action plan that my clients will be responsible for executing outside of the therapy or coaching relationship.

Sometimes we all can use a little help on life's journey--when things seem dark, when we feel like we are drowning in emotions, challenges, or thoughts, or when we just need someone to help with focus as we set a course toward achieving our goals. That is what therapy is all about! Therapy is not having someone with all the right answers tell you what to do or doing things to you; it is having a professional guide to draw out your goals and strengths, to breathe hope into difficult times, and to assist with perspective and skills. As Rumi said, "The wound is where the light enters you." Come, find hope, and refuel for your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked with adolescents, adults, and families for over 10 years. As a therapist, I believe that we have most of the tools we already need to make change. Therapy is simply a place where these tools can be identified and strengthened. I also believe people make lasting change through interpersonal relationships. Effective therapeutic treatment occurs through a meaningful, empowering, and reparative relationship. In therapy, I focus on relationships and how these impact our past & present relationships. I have experience with trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment issues.

I focus on building trust and rapport with every client I work with.

I focus on life transitions and challenges. Those times of life that can stir up anxieties, depression, uncertainty, prior or current traumas. When grief is heavy and we take on the monumental task of building new meaning and purpose. This territory is often unchartered and scary and we need a place to express, settle into our feelings, hold the floor down. I welcome everyone with compassion, absolutely no judgement and I can stand, or sit with whatever you are struggling with and find a path and support you on that path.
