I am licensed in North Carolina with four years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger management, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
Life can be unpredictable and can impact how a person copes with the stressors of everyday life. During chaotic times many clients have mentioned feeling overwhelmed, angry and anxious about their current situations. Regardless of the circumstances that led to someone reaching out for therapy, they took the first step toward wanting to change. Therapy can provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you are validated and encouraged to express how you feel. My goal is to foster a strong therapeutic relationship and help you reach your personal goals.

I have experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, trauma informed care, and I am certified in Dialectical Behavorial Therapy (DBT).
I encourage you to reach out and have a conversation. My goal is to provide culturally competent care and help individuals achieve emotional well-being and personal growth. I am a compassionate individual who believes in the power of active listening and empathy. My approach is to empower others to take control of their lives and make choices that align with their needs and values. I strive to help individuals navigate life's challenges and choices, always respecting their autonomy and unique journey.

She is very communicative as well as being very attentive to her patients. She consistently checks on me which is very appreciated because for me I end up only focusing on the things in front of me. With Carol, she reminds me to never forget to take care of myself throughout the day.

She takes time to listen and understand your concerns. I am struggling with my self-confidence and loving myself which has caused problems in my marriage . She has provided me with assessments to help me identify the root cause and we are working on building my confidence. And for the first time last week, I looked in the mirror and liked the person I saw.

She’s the first therapist I’ve had to talk to me back instead of just listening. I enjoy her insight and end our sessions feeling a little taller.
