Therapy Services
Individual therapy is extremely effective for those seeking professional treatment to address a very broad range of emotional or behavioral challenges. With the right therapist, an open mind, and effort-therapy could change your life.
Our families can be very complex systems. With multiple personalities and communication styles, often times conflict and frustration feel like the norm- and for some families that may be a reality. Family therapy can be incredibly helpful for identifying sources of conflict, establishing expectations, and improving communication. We believe every family has strengths. Often times identifying those strengths can be a challenge for family members; but with help, this could be the first step towards establishing the peace your family deserves
Children & Adolescent Therapy
Children and adolescents, though incredibly resilient, face many of the same emotional challenges as adults. Often times emotional distress such as anxiety or depression might look like defiance or non-compliance in youth. Therapy can help with identifying underlying issues and developing coping skills to address and decrease undesirable behaviors.

"And so, lifting as we climb, onward and upward we go, struggling and striving, and hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition ere long." Mary Church Terrell
"Therapy" can be an intimidating and unsettling concept. The thought of sitting down and speaking with someone you don't know about your life, stressors, and struggles can not only be uncomfortable, but frightening. This can be even more uncomfortable for those impacted and influenced by stigma related to mental health, or how to cope with it. This is the narrative for so many of us, and it's always been my passion to shift the experiences and perceptions people who have historically experienced these barriers (finances, access to providers that are supportive of you and your experience, church/religion, tradition, etc) to therapy-because I really believe in the healing that takes place in this therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I seek to partner with my clients to work together towards relief and solutions during life's challenges. I value this opportunity.
As a graduate of Meredith College and UNC-Chapel Hill, my studies in Social Work with a concentration in Child/Adolescent Health and Mental Health have been an invaluable foundation for this work. As an LCSW, my experience includes work in medical settings, private-practice, for-profit, and non-profit organization. I have extensive experience in community-based mental health working with children, adolescents, and families. I have received specialized training and experience working with those impacted by trauma.
I am a good fit for adolescents and adults seeking support with anxiety, adjustment disorders, and mood disorders like depression and Bipolar. I'm also well versed in addressing relationship issues, stress management, and trauma. I operate from a strengths-based client-centered approach.
"One task has just begun. Never leave until it's done. Either labor great or small. Do it well or not at all." - Quincey Jones, Sr.
