Hi, If you are looking for an addiction specialist then you have come to the right place. I have more than 25 years experience in the addictions field. I am a native New Yorker and have been living in North Carolina for the past 18 years. I know how overwhelming it is to reach out to a therapist for the first time. It like stepping into the unknown and that can be a good thing at times. Don't allow society's stigma to stagnate you from getting the help you need I believe that counseling is a collaborative endeavor that requires me to be a non- judgmental ,honest, compassionate and caring therapist.

My expertise lies in supporting those who are ready to confront hidden wounds. Through counseling, we'll collaborate to uncover the path toward wellness. Here, in this sacred space, you have the opportunity to reshape your life narrative according to your aspirations. Trauma manifests differently for each person. For some, it entails the process of seeing life through a lens of healing rather than a clouded one. If you're prepared to embark on the journey towards a brighter future, I'm eager to accompany you every step of the way!

My life experiences and personal testimony is evidence of God's ability to restore and redeem. My journey in becoming a counselor has given me an understanding for the need to see others through God's perspective, a holistic view in providing care and compassion, while ministering to individuals using various resources and methods. No one person or situation is alike. The uniqueness to your story requires personal insight while allowing the Holy Spirit to heal the inner person. I use biblically based teaching intertwined with psychological tools, to minister to the entire person: mind, body, spirit, soul.

Waitlist for new clients
When describing my work as a therapist, I often say that therapy is the art of having awkward conversations. The things that come up during therapy sessions aren’t often broached around the dinner table or at social gatherings, so talking about them can feel overwhelmingly weird. No one wakes up in the morning and says, "Hmm. You know what I'd like to do today? Spend an hour talking to a stranger and tell them all my deep, dark secrets." Sometimes, though, life circumstances, interpersonal difficulties, and emotional troubles make these conversations necessary. This is where I come in.

I find fulfillment in helping others learn to overcome their substance and behavioral addictions. I work with patients to solve the complex problems that lead to addiction—validating their journey along the way and providing unconditional positive regard through their troubles and successes. I believe that addiction is not the problem, therefore, I approach addiction as a maladaptive solution to a problem. I look forward to guiding you through the discovery of healthy solutions to those problems.

In a society where we are judged for our looks, our bodies, our successes, our failures, our parenting, our partnering, and so much more, it's no wonder that low self-esteem, low self confidence, anxiety and depression are prolific. I believe these are significant underlying issues to many challenges in a woman's life and often contribute to self medicating; which can lead to addiction, trauma, and low self worth. The good news is you can absolutely heal! Discover your sense of self worth, learn to accept yourself along with all of your gifts and complexities, and improve your relationships.
