Therapy Session in North Carolina

Jen is an LCSW who believes therapy works best when clients feel truly in control of their own story. She works with teens and adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and substance use, creating a relaxed, open-minded space for honest conversation. Her focus is on helping clients gain confidence, clarity, and real-world tools they can use long after sessions end.

Affirming support is available here and now for individuals who find themselves feeling lonely and isolated as a result of being neuro-divergent or LGBTQ+, or have any other way of being that others find difficult to accept. If you are having trouble fitting in or conforming to expectations, but still crave a sense of belonging, this is where we can sort it out. Here are some common goals I see in my practice. Address trauma and feel safe again. Navigate relationships with teachers, friends and family. Learn coping strategies to manage overwhelming expectations. Understand how to speak up for yourself with out getting into trouble. And most importantly, develop self acceptance! Let me support you as you pave your way into becoming your best self! Lets figure out what is getting in the way of your goals and come up with common sense solutions. I look forward to seeing you in this safe therapy space so we can bring you a sense of comfort as you move towards feeling hopeful about the future.

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

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.
