I'll personalize your therapy experience and incorporate your interests, such as art and music.
Hi, I’m glad you're here. Right now you may be at a point where you’re tired of being "strong” all the time, people-pleasing, and struggling with low self-esteem. You're the type of person that doesn't ask for help and you're probably pretty good at “having it all together.” I can imagine how exhausted you must feel. I would love to help ease your burdens. With my empathetic and easy-going nature, I'll help you let your guard down, regain control over your life, heal from your past, and learn to love yourself. Whether you’re a teen or young adult (13-35), I would love to help you experience the joy and freedom you deserve.

Virtual art therapy and counseling for North Carolina and Florida residents! For most of your life, you have felt different and misunderstood from those around you. Maybe your skin color, culture, hobbies, faith, etc. put you on the sidelines. You've taken on the "anxious, slow, or hyper" personality type because others described you this way. You have not felt “good enough” in all spaces and have difficulty feeling worthy. So, over time, you have learned to assimilate, blend in; but that has meant becoming someone that isn't you. It's as if you're playing a part in a play but were never given the script.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Do you strive for breakthrough but somehow seem to always fall short? Do you want to finally achieve progress and reach your goals? I can help by utilizing psychological tools to push past these barriers and into a more fulfilled life. As a Christian therapist we can utilize both psychological tools and Christian principles to achieve breakthrough. Too often Christians practice solely from a spiritual perspective and neglect the psychological or worse, deny it exists. I believe both spiritual and psychological can work together collaboratively.

Do you feel worried for your child? Is it hard to understand why he behaves the way he does? Do you worry that family stressors are bleeding into her life and well-being? As a child therapist, one thing I hear many parents say, is that they feel their child is having to navigate adult-size problems and stressors at an earlier age than they ever had to. And, they’re right!
