Therapists in North Carolina

I am a twin mom who became fiercely passionate about working with women after my own pregnancy journey. Navigating a complex system with a lack of resources for new mothers made me realize that I needed to shift my career focus to creating a space for new moms to heal mentally, physically, and spiritually after having a new baby. I am an avid runner and health coach in addition to being a therapist. Integrating movement and holistic wellness is a critical component to my approach in therapy. I am currently offering virtual therapy appointments in TN, SC, and NC. I will opening my private practice to take in-person clients soon.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience providing therapy to adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with clients to address the problems that interfere with living one's best life. Those problems may stem from difficult experiences in one's past or from one's current circumstances. I offer help to clients struggling with depression, anxiety, workplace stress, grief/bereavement, eating disorders, and relationship challenges. I also have training in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and have worked extensively with college students and emerging adults.

Licensed in VA, MD, WVA and NC. Are you struggling with your overall mental wellness? Have you tried therapy in the past and not seen the progress you were expecting? I am here to offer support and collaborate with you to find hope. Therapy is a shared journey to identify new insights and work on finding actionable solutions. I actively listen to get to know you, develop a clinical relationship and address your unique needs while in a calm and comfortable setting. We work together to create tangible tools to process past experiences, including trauma, and tackle current complicated life issues to facilitate a healthier future.

If you find yourself in a difficult place, let me be the first to say, you are not alone. We all have times in our lives when we need a voice of hope, a listening ear, and eyes to see beyond our current circumstances. Making the decision to seek support can be a humbling, yet extremely gratifying experience. What I hope to offer is a unique space where you can be yourself, learn about yourself, and more fully live into your true identity.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the darkness that overshadows your life? Maybe it is due to negative experiences or a past you cannot let go. Owning your story can be challenging but running from it can lead to results that are even more devastating. Mental health, varying crisis and substance abuse are common in today’s society, and many people benefit from talking with a mental health therapist. Often, our negative thoughts, patterns and persistent habits are what causes anxiety, depression, increased stress and other issues. As your therapist, I would work with you to develop goals that fit your needs and provide support.

There is great potential for positive change within reach! Starting therapy is a courageous step toward a new beginning. Everyone has the ability to make positive changes (big or small) to bring about a more meaningful, balanced life. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgemental space to process difficult emotions and thought processes that feel heavy and burdensome. We'll work together to identify specific issues causing distress, recognize existing strengths to draw upon and develop new and effective coping strategies to reduce distress.

One of the biggest obstacles to personal, emotional, mental and social well-being is holding on to the past. Letting go of the past can empower you to obtain happiness, and contentment in all walks of life. It is very important, yet difficult, to be in the present. Letting go and starting anew will increase your sense of resilience and help you tackle concerns confidentially and bravely without feeling helpless, unduly stressed or overwhelmed. Confidence paired with realistic goals and plans can lead to peace versus anxiety and fear. Properly managed stress can positively affect your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Therapy offers a profound opportunity to cultivate self-awareness, particularly in recognizing how negative beliefs and thought patterns about yourself and others can detrimentally impact the quality of your life. I have earned advanced clinical licensure and board certification (BCD) in both Florida and North Carolina. In addition to my counseling practice, I am a Qualified Clinical Supervisor for the State, mentoring and coaching aspiring Mental Health Counselors and Clinical Social Workers.
