I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my MSW from North Carolina Central University. My experience includes working with children, adults, and families. I am passionate about working with adults of all ages, specializing in the LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and BIPOC communities. I provide individual and couples therapy and serve clients via telehealth or in person in Durham, NC.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, trauma, or just life in general, know that you’re taking a step in the right direction. Together we will work towards setting and achieving realistic goals to make your life easier. As your therapist, I will meet you where you are with light-hearted humor and sincerity.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I welcome all lifestyles. I am an LGBTQ+-affirming and culturally aware therapist. I welcome all genders, sexual orientations, races, cultures, and faiths openly.

My treatment methods

EMDR

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mental health treatment that involves moving your eyes a specific way while you process traumatic memories.

Psychodynamic

Study of the psychological forces underlying human behavior, feelings, and emotions and how they might relate to early experiences.

Strength-Based

Guides the client toward a retelling of their personal history of traumas, stressors, and pain with more emphasis on themselves as a survivor than as a victim, and more emphasis on their strengths and survival skills than on their weakness.
