AVAILABLE EVENINGS & WEEKENDS Now accepting clients with late evening and weekend availability. As we step into a new year, many people find themselves reflecting on what they want to release, restore, and rebuild in their lives. If you are feeling ready for meaningful change—but unsure where to begin—you don’t have to do it alone. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in North Carolina with 21 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship challenges, work through family conflict, and strengthen motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences. Together, we work to identify patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the clarity and confidence needed to move forward with intention. The beginning of a new year often brings a desire for alignment, healing, and growth. Choosing to invest in yourself—your emotional well-being, your relationships, and your future—takes courage. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to prioritize yourself in a new way, therapy can be a powerful place to start. I am committed to walking alongside you as you work toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic life—at a pace that honors your needs and your schedule. Late evening and weekend appointments available to support busy professionals, parents, and individuals seeking flexible care.
