About My Clients
I serve teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, grief, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are managing multiple responsibilities while trying to maintain their emotional well-being. They may appear to have everything together while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or unsure about what needs to change.
My Background and Approach
My background includes both **direct clinical practice and clinical leadership**, which has given me experience working with individuals facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. I am a **Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate**, and I provide virtual therapy to teens and adults throughout North Carolina and South Carolina. My approach to therapy is warm, conversational, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can speak freely, be yourself, and talk honestly about what is happening in your life without fear of judgment. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so I tailor our work to your individual needs, experiences, strengths, and goals. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed approaches. Together, we may explore thought and behavior patterns, relationships, boundaries, coping skills.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe people deserve a space where they can be honest about what is really going on without feeling judged, labeled, or expected to have everything figured out. Life can get complicated, and sometimes being the person who is always “strong” can become exhausting. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation between two people. I want my clients to feel comfortable enough to laugh, be frustrated, ask questions, disagree, cry, or simply say, “I don’t know.” You don't have to perform in therapy or find the perfect words. We can figure things out together. I also believe that understanding yourself is important, but insight alone doesn’t always create change. At some point, we have to take what we learn about ourselves and begin doing something different. That might mean setting a boundary, changing a pattern, having a difficult conversation, learning a healthier way to cope, or finally making yourself a priority.
