I'm so glad you found your way here. Seeking therapy can be intimidating when you may already be struggling to find your way. You've taken a big first step in seeking out a therapist, and my hope is to provide a warm, accessible, and affirming space where we can connect and move forward together.
As a therapist, I use an integrative approach drawing from relational, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mind/body, trauma-informed care, and social justice theory and practices.Ultimately, you are the expert on your own life. I see therapy as a space where together we look at the places in your life where you feel stuck.

Services
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the states of North Carolina and New York and have been a practicing clinician for 15 years. I hold graduate degrees in Counseling from North Carolina State University and Special Education from Pace University. I began my career working with children and families in crisis by providing intensive in-home therapy services in Nashville, Tennessee.
As a therapist, I offer a relational treatment approach informed by developmental psychology, sociological factors, and compassion. I work with individuals and families in an integrative way to address the challenges life may bring and help restore peace and balance to their lives. Everybody comes to therapy with a unique story, and once we establish a therapeutic relationship we design our treatment plan according to your needs and desires.
I offer a free 10 minute phone consultation to determine if I may be of help to you. If it appears to be a good fit, we will schedule an initial session to gather more information. I offer a sliding scale to qualified individuals upon request. I currently do not participate with any insurance plans.
