Introduction

I'm a North Carolina-based Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, supporting in-person clients in Durham, Carrboro, and surrounding areas. I also support clients across North Carolina through virtual sessions. At the heart of my work is a deep-seated belief that every human deserves to thrive. Many of us are carrying more than anyone realizes. That is why I am committed to creating an inclusive space where you can feel empowered to live a life you're proud of. I'm focused on supporting teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, career or school transitions, perfectionism, life stress, parenting, perinatal and postpartum experiences, and relationship challenges. Whatever life throws at you, we can work together to build tools that will serve you beyond session. I am especially passionate about serving communities of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals. My therapeutic approach integrates ACT, CBT, Person-Centered, Solution-Focused, Psychodynamic, and Multicultural approaches. My goal is to build a personalized therapeutic experience that helps you face life's complexities with confidence. I look forward to working alongside you, celebrating victories, navigating challenges, and fostering empowerment. I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to embark on this journey of healing and growth with you.
