I also enjoy working with queer and lesbian women of color interested in processing race, ethnicity, and sexuality concerns at the intersections of gender, oppression, and other unique experiences. My counseling style is client-centered, down-to-earth, and engaging. I integrate my humor and acts of holistic practice to include aromatherapy, healing rituals, and more.

Also, I use solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and aspects of reality therapy, to name a few. As a social worker, I am strength-based and conceptualize clients' needs with their unique environments in mind. My goal is to help my clients be the most authentic and empowered version of themselves and live unapologetically real. The process of uncovering and discovering takes courage, strength, and hard work, something most of us have and need a little reassurance. If you are ready to begin a new therapy journey, I will be a professional support for you. You got this!

From time to time, life presents itself as a series of obstacles with some higher than others. I prefer to see problems as a positive challenge to embrace life and seek positive growth that we can do for ourselves. Seeking help is hard enough, and it's my job to ease the process by offering my clients a warm, empathetic, and safe place to address their challenges. If you are struggling with a particular issue, or prefer a safe place to express yourself, I am happy to help you explore your issues. I have been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina since 2007 (we were originally called Licensed Professional Counselors, but that changed a few years ago). During my career, I have worked with adolescents and adults. In any therapeutic interaction, it is important to initially develop a relationship with my clients to develop an environment that promotes empathy, understanding, and support. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, various approaches drawn from Narrative Therapy, Redecision Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing strategies. We will discuss these approaches to match your needs and preferences while we are in session together.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of North Carolina with 12 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, family shelters, community mental health agencies, health clinics and religious organizations since my graduation from Columbia International University in 2011. My expertise lies in working with children, women, families, couples and groups. As a therapist, I strongly believe that the quality of our lives are depended on the quality of our relationships. Our foundational relationship is our family of origin, which sets the pattern for the rest of our relationships. Our relationships with our significant others and close friends provide opportunities to rewrite dysfunctional family of origin patterns. The health of our relationships directly influences how we enjoy life's successes as well as how we cope with life's struggles and challenges. If our relationships are good, we feel well supported and can weather any storm that comes our way. The quality of our relationships impacts our mental, physical and spiritual health. My therapy approach is a combination of Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, Client Focused Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Experiential Therapy. These approaches guide my understanding in identifying problematic patterns in clients relationships with self, others and the world. These theoretical lenses also guide my treatment approaches.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the states of North Carolina and Florida. After studying Communications as an undergraduate at New York University, I continued my education at the University of South Florida where I received a master's degree in Rehabilitation & Mental Health Counseling. I have worked in community, treatment and hospital settings, providing individualized and group counseling services for teens, adults and veterans. My approach: Although I utilize several different modalities to include cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy, mindfulness is the foundation of my practice. Mindfulness is simply about paying attention in a purposeful way. In a day and age where we constantly distracted and multi-tasking is the norm, we lose the ability to focus on any one thing. This makes it virtually impossible to be present in the moment and often leaves us feeling fragmented and disconnected. Therapy is a way of shifting ourselves back into focus; strengthening the relationship with ourselves and between our selves. Why I do what I do? This is a question that I am often asked and the answer is simple: because this is who I am. A seeker, a helper, a teacher, a counselor and a guide. While my education and work experience has helped me hone in on my skills, it is my life that has most greatly prepared me for this role. I consider it an honor and a privilege to be a part of my clients' lives. There is nothing more rewarding than helping clients move towards health and enhanced personal well-being.
