As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I provide telehealth therapy for children, adolescents, and college students experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while integrating Person-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches. My goal is to help clients build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Supervisor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I especially enjoy working with adolescents navigating anxiety, stress, and the college application process. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based care. I also provide board-approved clinical supervision and value ethical practice, strong therapeutic relationships, and meaningful outcomes.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a strong commitment to supporting children and adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Elizabeth City State University and my Master of Social Work from Walden University, where I developed a solid foundation in evidence-based and culturally responsive practice. I have experience working with diverse populations across the lifespan and am deeply passionate about helping individuals build insight, resilience, and effective coping skills. My areas of focus include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, anger management, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and life stressors. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. My goal as a therapist is to partner with clients in identifying their strengths, developing practical strategies, and fostering emotional growth that leads to lasting positive change. I believe healing is a collaborative process, and I am committed to walking alongside my clients as they work toward improved well-being, confidence, and a more balanced life.

I help pre-teens, teens, and adults (ages 10+) navigate anxiety, social issues, digital wellness, depression, and life transitions. Drawing on my background across schools, inpatient hospitals, and clinics, I create a warm, creative space where clients feel valued and empowered. I integrate CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Art Therapy to help you build resilience and lasting growth.
