Therapists licensed in North Carolina

Hi! I'm Wen. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I help adults who are struggling to deal with everyday stressors and burnout. I empathetically listen to what you have to share and want to fully understand your situation before working collaboratively on solutions. I consider myself a direct person and try to break down the concepts that I teach into easily understood ideas.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that something isn't OK right now. That something might be new, or it might have been around a long time. You might be able to describe it perfectly, or you might just feel off without knowing why. Either way — you're here, and that's the only thing that matters right now. I start from wherever you are. No assumptions, no judgments, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just a genuine desire to understand you — what's brought you here, what you're carrying, and what you're hoping for. Therapy with me — whether you're coming alone or with a partner — tends to be honest and occasionally even a little lighthearted. The human experience isn't black and white, and neither is the work we'll do together. What stays consistent is that you'll have a space that belongs to you, where nothing you say or feel changes how I show up for you. For couples, that space belongs to both of you equally. I don't take sides. What I do is help you see the pattern you're both caught in — because most of the time it's the cycle doing the damage, not each other. When that shifts, something else becomes possible. No matter what it is you are navigating — depression, relationships, identity, or the gap between how you show up and how you actually feel inside — you don't have to have it figured out to reach out.

Do you feel persistently overwhelmed, as if you're fighting an uphill battle with your mental health? Is it becoming increasingly difficult to navigate life's ups and downs with serenity? Are you striving for a harmonious balance between personal life, career, and self-care? Have you ever felt like "something's wrong" but can't quite ever identify what it is, or where that feeling is coming from? I am dedicated to helping people from all walks of life better cope with stress and anxiety without compromising their drive for success. I believe in the importance of holistic wellness and integrate various therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, and hypnosis to help you find a path to inner peace while staying productive and motivated. Whether you're grappling with stress, anxiety, grief, or unprocessed trauma, remember it's brave to reach out for help. Our collaboration will offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings, identify your triggers, and cultivate effective coping mechanisms. Together, we will navigate the ebb and flow of your life, aiming for personal growth, tranquility, and a balanced lifestyle.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) in the state of North Carolina. I received a master's degree in counseling, along with a graduate certificate in substance abuse counseling, from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2010. While in graduate school, I decided to specialize in Motivational Interviewing (MI) when I discovered how well the “spirit of MI” (partnership, acceptance, compassion, and empowerment) fit with my perception of how we change and grow. Since then, I have had the opportunity to participate in several advanced MI training workshops facilitated by some of the originators of this powerful approach to facilitating change. By incorporating the components mentioned above into our counseling relationship, along with a wide variety of evidence-based approaches as needed, a collaboration is created where we work as a team to identify and build on your strengths, restructure any self-limiting beliefs, increase confidence, and progress towards the accomplishment of your goals. I started my private practice soon after graduation and have had the privilege of being part of the change process in countless lives over the past 14 years.

Hi there, I'm Deanna. Do you find yourself wanting to live a more authentic, empowered and meaningful life? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to cultivate the kind of relationships, work and level of health that you desire? I can help you understand and manage anxiety and explore the root cause of why you feel stuck, down or struggle to create the life you desire. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a holistic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I integrate mindfulness & somatic experiencing techniques to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and your body. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I know that seeking therapy can feel scary and that it takes courage to show up for yourself in this way. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits that have been holding you back. Let's work together!

Hi, I’m Kelly! I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker in the state of NC. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. I have been working as an outpatient child/adolescent therapist since 2021. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment that you feel comfortable growing in and allowing you the space to heal. I have experience with treating children/adolescents and young adults (18-25) with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and self-harm.

Hi, I'm a License Independent Clinician social worker (LICSW). I recieved my master degree from Simmons University and have been working primarly with women and children the majority of my career. I enjoy working with people through their transition and helping get to the otherside of difficult moments in life.

I work best with clients struggling with anxiety and/or panic attacks, but have experience working with various issues ranging from depression, trauma, and general life struggles. I like to create an environment where you feel comfortable. I utilize mindfulness-based techniques through acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) that aims to help clients find peace with their circumstances. These techniques frequently involve asking people to look at their thinking from a different perspective and giving tools to effectively change it.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 30 years of experience in the mental health field and 14 years of experience operating my private practice. I support adults and couples experiencing anxiety, relationship distress, communication difficulties, parenting concerns, life transitions, diminished self-esteem, trauma-related concerns, and patterns that may be interfering with emotional well-being and healthier relationships. In couples counseling, I provide a balanced and respectful environment where each partner has an opportunity to feel heard. I help couples recognize recurring patterns, improve communication, navigate conflict more constructively, rebuild emotional safety and trust, and strengthen their connection. My role is not to take sides, but to help both partners understand the relationship dynamic and take meaningful responsibility for the changes within their control. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients understand the connections among their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify beliefs and thinking patterns that may contribute to anxiety, depressed mood, diminished self-esteem, relationship distress, or ineffective coping. Depending on the client’s needs, we may use guided reflection, thought records, structured exercises, role-playing, and between-session practice. With couples, CBT-informed strategies can also help partners examine assumptions, interpretations, expectations, and behavioral responses that contribute to recurring conflict. The goal is to develop greater awareness and practice healthier, more intentional responses. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices with carefully selected holistic strategies to support insight, emotional regulation, personal growth, and sustainable behavioral change. I meet each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect, helping them identify the underlying beliefs and patterns connected to their current concerns.

It's possible to let go of your stressors, feel relaxed, enjoy your relationships, and have the energy to do what you love. My expertise is in teaching the tools that will help you break free from what feels like an endless stream of demands with no satisfying finish line.

Hello, I'm Lisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) with nearly two decades of experience in private practice. I provide a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where adults can feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's challenges. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, helping individuals build on their strengths, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

I believe that in order for counseling to be successful we must work equally as a team with forming goals, implementing interventions, and assessing progress. In my view, to make sense of overwhelming issues it is best to break them down. Feelings and thoughts affect our behaviors and how we make sense of the world. Therefore, we must address the impact those feelings and thoughts are having on our symptoms and actions. While also diving into the root of those thoughts and feelings.

Whatever brings you in—whether it is trauma, grief, dissociation, anxiety, or depression—my hope is to provide a soft place for you to land. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncomfortable in your own skin, but you are also resilient. You want to heal, but perhaps you have lost hope that true healing is possible. My practice is built on the belief that by increasing our "Window of Realness"—moving beyond just tolerating the world to fully engaging with it—we can discover our most authentic selves. I specialize in helping survivors of extreme life experiences and those navigating major transitions to claim back their power. From our very first interaction, you will feel acknowledged, respected, and empowered as a human being with valid rights and needs.

I’m a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy should feel like a safe place to exhale, be honest, and make sense of what you’re experiencing. With 20 years of experience in behavioral health and 16 years as a licensed clinician, along with a background in nursing, I bring a broad and integrative perspective to emotional and mental wellness. I work with women navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, motherhood, trauma, and the many responsibilities that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I want you to feel heard, not judged and supported as you develop insight, strengthen your coping skills, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way.

Hi, my name is Jonathon Payne and I am a practicing Licensed Clinical Mental Health Clinician, LCMHC, with the State of North Carolina with over 18 years of experience. Most of my work experience has come from working with individuals in crisis settings and or situations. The work has always been challenging, humbling, and rewarding.

I respect the therapeutic process and value the hard work and introspection it requires. Therapy is something that I am passionate about. Everyday it provides me an opportunity to help others and learn from others. I am proud of the things I have learned, but even more humbled and optimistic of things that I continue to learn. One thing I would tell you is that a have a real passion and commitment to counseling and the therapeutic process. It is and has been what I love to do. I put tremendous value on the importance communication, language, and building a good therapeutic relationship or rapport. Its important to me that you, the patient feel safe, heard, and valued. My counseling style is very laid back and supportive, with a very non-judgmental stance. However, I am not afraid to roll my sleeves up and work hard. I believe in being supportive, motivating, and challenging. Its important that you have the opportunity to work hard, learn, grow, while developing realistic attainable and measurable goals.

Hello, I am Michael A. Kirk, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.

Hi there! I'm a Licensed counselor for CO, NC, and DC. I received my Master's Degree in 2007 and have spent a good bit of my career in crisis and residential settings before transitioning to direct care. I help adults who have experienced adverse events and or trauma to heal and begin to live their lives in a more peaceful way.

Change can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. We all face situations throughout life that can make us feel overwhelmed and in need of support, encouragement, strategic planning or goal setting. You are not alone. I provide a safe, warm and friendly environment for growth and healing. You may need support in family life transitions, a parent-child relationship, peers groups, marriage, divorce, social issues, academic challenges or behavioral issues. While we are working together, I take a collaborative approach to help you to achieve your goals and overcome the challenges you're facing in life. I am here to support and empower you on your personal journey. Recognizing when issues in life have become too much to handle alone and seeking assistance is a great first step on your healing journey. It takes a lot of courage to reach out to someone, so I applaud you on taking that first huge step.

You may be the person everyone depends on; the one who handles problems, pushes through challenges, and keeps everything moving. But what happens when you're the one feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next? I'm Kumalo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work, and retired U.S. Army officer with more than 22 years of military service and behavioral health leadership. I help adults navigate anxiety, trauma, PTSD, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, straightforward, and focused on helping you make meaningful progress. I believe therapy should be more than a place to talk about what's wrong. It should also be a space where you feel understood, gain new perspectives, develop practical tools, and rediscover your confidence and sense of direction. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR, I tailor treatment to your experiences, needs, and goals. Whether you're dealing with painful experiences from the past, pressure in the present, or uncertainty about the future, we'll work together to identify what's keeping you stuck and create a path forward. My experience includes supporting military service members, veterans, professionals, and individuals who carry significant responsibilities while quietly managing their own struggles. You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy, and you don't need to have all the answers to get started. You've spent a lot of time showing up for others. It's okay to make yourself a priority, too. If you're ready to feel more grounded, strengthen your relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence, I'd welcome the opportunity to work with you.

Looking through these many profiles can be difficult and draining. Thanks for being here. If you are struggling and unable to control your worries or feeling anxious and as if your stress never eases up, I hope we connect. Overthinking tomorrow and replaying yesterday can be exhausting for any of us and can honestly feel like where we live in our minds. Anxiety steals valuable time from us and can cause incredible distress. Depression also robs us of time, and if you live with grief and loss, the pain may feel overwhelming and never ending. I serve individuals in Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Virginia and have many years of experience working with clients suffering with anxiety, many of whom have endured trauma, loss, and live with grief. I enjoy assisting all adults and have worked with many wonderful individuals in addressing life challenges, changes, and transitions. I know it can be especially difficult and uncomfortable to reach out and ask for help when you are already overwhelmed with a situation. I will always strive to provide a safe space for you to talk about whatever concerns are important to you. Some concerns are very private. I respect this and offer a supportive environment which is always free from judgement. I appreciate your time and hope you find who you need in these profiles.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Certified Play Therapist, and I spent nearly 10 years as a school counselor. For over a decade, I’ve loved working in private practice, supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges and transitions. I meet with clients both virtually and at my in-person office.

I believe therapy can be both meaningful and enjoyable, and I incorporate creative approaches such as art, nature, and play to help clients engage in the therapeutic process and express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable.

Trauma has haunted you for years. It’s left you with nightmares and flashbacks. It’s caused you to distrust others and push them away. It’s made you feel broken and hopeless. You’ve tried everything you can think of to shed the weight of the past. You’ve read the books, tried the life hacks… You may have even talked to a therapist. But now, you’re out of options. Nothing has helped you transition from being a survivor to someone who’s truly alive. And you’re all talked out. No matter how many times you tell your story, nothing changes. The search for relief is exhausting. This might be your last shot at getting help.

I am a licensed clinical social worker providing individual and couples therapy for adults navigating relationship challenges, grief and loss, emotional overwhelm and major life transitions. My goal is to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck, strengthen boundaries and build practical coping strategies that support meaningful, lasting change. My approach is structured, supportive and nonjudgmental, creating space where clients can process challenges and move toward healing and growth. For clients who wish to integrate faith into their counseling journey, I also offer Christian based counseling. In addition to my therapy work, I bring several years of experience as a medical social worker, serving in hospitals, hospices and long-term care settings.

I am licensed to practice in IL, NC and OH.

Hey, I’m Mariah! I work with women who look like they have it together on the outside but internally feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. A lot of my clients are the ones everyone depends on. They’re successful, self-aware, high-achieving, and used to pushing through. But underneath that, they’re overthinking everything, emotionally drained, struggling in relationships, and wondering why they still feel so stuck despite years of trying to “work on themselves.” Many have done therapy before and left frustrated because they gained insight but nothing actually changed. My approach is honest, direct, and focused on getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck — not just helping you manage symptoms. I help clients understand the deeper patterns behind their anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, and relationship struggles so they can stop surviving life on autopilot. I’m not the therapist who just sits quietly and nods for 50 minutes. I’ll challenge you, connect the dots, and help you make real shifts in the way you relate to yourself and others. I also offer private pay therapy for clients looking for more personalized care without the limitations insurance can place on treatment. Clients are able to use HSA/FSA funds to pay for services and are able to receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.

I offer a safe space where you can explore what’s happening in your life, understand your internal world, and build tools that help you feel more stable, confident, and empowered. Whether you’re working through trauma, managing stress, or trying to make sense of a difficult transition, I’m here to support you and assist you along the journey.

I’m a compassionate, trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to be yourself. My approach is warm, supportive, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping you understand your experiences while developing practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. I enjoy working with adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship or family challenges, life transitions, trauma, or difficulties adjusting to major changes. I have a particular passion for supporting women during pregnancy and the postpartum period, including those navigating perinatal mood and anxiety concerns, identity changes, and the emotional demands of motherhood. My life and professional experiences have taught me the importance of meeting people where they are and recognizing that everyone’s journey is different. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—not judge you or tell you who you should be. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way of the life and relationships you want while building on the strengths you already have.

Hi everyone! Are you someone who is open to growth, change, and you want healing to take place? I like to work with clients who have a desire to grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally and who recognize this doesn't happen overnight. We are each a work in progress! I am a clinician who has been practicing for over 20 years. I enjoy working with various populations and ages but primarily focus on providing counseling services for the adult population. I feel God has led me to be a counselor, and I love watching others grow and heal in their life journeys. I work to help clients build resilience, regain confidence, and find peace in their personal and relational lives. Through a supportive, personalized approach, I work to help clients heal from their past hurts and begin to look forward to the future with a hopeful outlook.

I provide individual and family therapy using a person-centered, collaborative approach that meets you where you are—without judgment and without pressure to be “fixed.” I view therapy as a partnership, and I work alongside clients to support meaningful, sustainable change. My approach focuses on helping clients identify their strengths, increase self-awareness, recognize support systems, and take accountability in ways that promote growth rather than shame. I use an eclectic, evidence-based framework, drawing from Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-based practices. Interventions are always tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lived experiences. My work is grounded in a few core beliefs: people are doing the best they can with the skills they have, people are capable of change, and people do get better. I also believe that a strong therapeutic relationship creates the safety necessary for healing and growth. To support progress outside of sessions, I may offer practical, collaborative between-session exercises that help clients apply skills in their daily lives. I am a Christian counselor, and my faith informs my values of compassion, dignity, and respect. I work with individuals from all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities, and faith is incorporated into therapy only when requested by the client. In addition to my professional role, I am a wife, lifelong learner, and mother of three, including a son on the autism spectrum. These experiences deepen my empathy and understanding of caregiving, advocacy, and navigating complex systems.

My therapeutic interventions include Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I empower those lacking motivation, encourage those who feel helpless and hopeless, and guide individuals who believe they have no purpose. I also teach coping skills to help navigate daily challenges. Let's start today on the path to regaining control of your life. I look forward to hearing from you.

A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes. ---->Part of individual therapy is talking about friends, partners and loved ones. My training and focus are centered only on heterosexual relationship dynamics. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, you will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. I am not able to perform assessments, letters for claims or provide appearances in court.

Hi, I’m Taylor. I’m a therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and periods of self-discovery. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next steps — and are looking for a space where they can slow down and make sense of what they’re experiencing. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine curiosity about each person’s story. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood, so I prioritize creating a supportive environment where clients can explore patterns, build insight, and reconnect with their strengths. I don’t offer quick fixes, but I do offer steady guidance and thoughtful partnership. The impact I hope to have in my clients’ lives is helping them feel more confident, self-aware, and empowered in their choices. Whether that means managing anxiety more effectively, navigating a major transition with greater clarity, or developing a stronger sense of identity, my goal is to support lasting growth that feels authentic and sustainable.

Traumatic experiences are, unfortunately, far more common than many people realize—and their impact can linger in ways that affect how we think, feel, and relate to others. For 16 years I have specialized in helping individuals process and heal from various types of trauma, including interpersonal violence and sexual assault, childhood abuse, and religious trauma. I also provide support for those caring for loved ones with complex medical needs, recognizing the unique form of secondary trauma, chronic stress, and emotional exhaustion that caregiving can bring. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in trauma-informed therapy. I incorporate practical tools for nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and building resilience, while always honoring your pace and your story. You can expect a space where you are believed, respected, and supported. Healing is possible. Whether you are working through past trauma, navigating the challenges of caregiving, or trying to rebuild trust and stability, there is hope. I would be honored to walk alongside you- not as someone who has all the answers, but as someone who can help you make sense of what you’re feeling and move toward relief.

Hi there, I’m Julissa. You may be used to being the person others depend on—managing responsibilities, showing up for everyone, and keeping things moving. But inside, you might feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself. If that sounds familiar, I’m glad you’re here. You deserve a space where you can feel supported, too. I’m a licensed mental health therapist with 10 years of experience. I help adults navigate anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, and life transitions. My holistic approach combines clinical tools with mindfulness and attention to the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and body. For clients who find it meaningful, we can also explore spirituality as part of the healing process. Together, we’ll make room for what you’ve been carrying, understand patterns that leave you feeling stuck, and develop practical ways to feel more grounded, set healthier boundaries, and make decisions with greater confidence. I consider it a privilege to hear your story. If this approach feels like a good fit, I invite you to schedule a first session. We’ll start where you are and explore what support could look like for you.

Some theories that I utilize during sessions include ACT, DBT, CBT, and most importantly, developing a relationship with my clients where there is a safe space to explore issues and changes.

Hello! I’m Kimberly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. I am licensed in North Carolina and Virginia, and my practice is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing with a deep respect for your lived experience. I specialize in working with individuals who are ready to reconnect with their inner strength, set healthy boundaries, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking a space to reflect and grow, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment where healing and transformation can begin. Together, we’ll focus not just on symptom relief—but on building emotional resilience, self-compassion, and lasting empowerment. My approach is holistic and client-centered, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit. You deserve support that sees you fully and helps you thrive. Let's get started!!

I am a first generation native Spanish-speaker. I am passionate about mental health awareness, the impacts of generational trauma, and social/cultural conditioning. I utilize various trauma-informed therapeutic modalities including IFS. My approach to therapy is simple: We must face the discomfort and learn to sit with the parts of us that are hurting in order to begin the journey of self-discovery, begin healing, and lead a more authentic life in alignment with our true north. All the answers we are searching for are within. Let me support you as you develop a deeper and more understanding relationship with yourself.

My counseling approach is characterized by a combination of honesty, empathy, and compassion, complemented by a subtle touch of humor. I employ an eclectic counseling approach that encompasses various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy/Child Centered Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and Solution-Focused therapy. I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I focus on what works best for each person. I’m committed to adjusting my style to fit each client’s unique needs and challenges. In my free time, I live for spending quality moments with my two pups and close friends. Additionally, I relish day trips and attending performances featuring Drag Queens. I look forward to the opportunity to provide you with the support you need on your therapeutic journey.

I genuinely love what I do and feel grateful for the opportunity to support others as they explore their stories, their strengths, and the direction they want their lives to take. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and at peace with who they are and where they are going. If you are feeling unsure or nervous about starting therapy, you don’t have to have it all figured out—I will meet you exactly where you are, and we will walk this journey together with care, compassion, and intention.

Hello, there! I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) raised in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and have been supporting clients in the area since 2021.
