Biography
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHC-S) in NC with over 30 years of counseling experience. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and provide counseling for adolescents and adults (ages 13–65) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, and mild trauma. My holistic, evidence-based, person-centered approach integrates bio-psycho-socio-spiritual factors to promote growth, resilience, and lasting change.

Frequently asked questions
What does our first session look like?
I spend time explaining preliminary information related to beginning therapy with me. I will share a little about my background and counseling approach, and I will invite you to share information about yourself and what brings you to therapy. I take time to listen carefully to your primary concerns, understand the frequency and duration of those concerns, explore your immediate needs, and consider any relevant diagnoses that may help guide treatment. I will collaborate with you—or with a parent or caregiver when working with a minor—to establish meaningful treatment goals.
