About Me

As a licensed therapist serving North and South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients through challenges related to stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and interpersonal dynamics. I bring a deeply compassionate approach to working with LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and those experiencing social anxiety, relationship difficulties, and personal growth transitions.

My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, heal past wounds, and deepen their self-understanding. I’m particularly passionate about supporting individuals working through issues of identity, discrimination, attachment, and personal transformation.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients build resilience, improve communication, and cultivate self-love. Whether you’re dealing with panic attacks, relationship challenges, or seeking to understand your life’s purpose, I’m committed to walking alongside you with respect, understanding, and genuine care.
