Stokesdale, North Carolina was once known as Green Pond. Perhaps this town that once put their General Store, post office, and public meeting room all under one roof, is better characterized by the motto that citizens chose for their town seal—“Amor Vincit Omnia” which means “Love Conquers Everything.” In most cases, love does conquer everything, but it won’t cure your ills when you’re not feeling your mental or emotional best.

It’s not necessary to feel like you’re sinking in a pond of the green swamp. Your perfect match of a professional licensed counselor in the Stokesdale area is willing to work with you to improve your well- being so you can get back to feeling like you can conquer the world.

As a mental health counselor and gender specialist, my commitments are to be your advocate, supporter, teacher, and encourager. Together, we will create a safe and trusting therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable to work. It is a truth of mine that we are all in our own struggles; if only we could be there together in those struggles, we may be able to truly find our strengths more easily. My therapy style is interactive, inviting and a space I commit to always feeling honest and authentic (I love a good sense of humor along the way). I focus on supporting the individual, as each is unique and may present an array of concerns. An individual will be able to enter into a therapeutic environment that is safe, free from judgment, and supportive. I strive to supply a space for each client that is empowering and motivating. I primarily work from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Positive Psychology. I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, adults, and LGBTQ-affirmative and Transgender transitioning. I have specific experience within trauma-focused, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, family issues and child behavior concerns. I enjoy working with clients on issues of self-esteem building, anxiety reduction, coping skills, and relationship skills-building. Knowing your authentic self is a true journey of discovery and self-love. This is a true guide for all of my clinical work. I have collected my clinical experience from settings of private practice, university counseling and grade schools. ​I am an avid reader (kind of a history and sci-fi dork...) and have two fantastically wild and amazing kiddos. In my spare time, you can always catch me hosting impromptu dance parties in the kitchen. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (NC) and National Board Certified Counselor. I typically schedule Live Sessions week-to-week, including offering some evening and weekend slots. I will be happy to work out a consistent time for you once we get started.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help you grow, heal, and cope with the challenges of life.You don’t have to put it off anymore. I help children, teens, adults, couples and families find relief from anxiety, stress and worry so they can find more peace and joy in their relationships and their lives. With counseling, each conversation is an opportunity to understand yourself better, develop relationships, laugh more often, feel optimistic about your life, plus incorporating solution-focused strategies that can make a difference everyday. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psycho-dynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I attended NC A&T State University, University of Illinois and Clark-Atlanta University and I have been practicing for over 15 years.

If you have come to me for assistance, it means that you are experiencing some ways of living your life that no longer work for you. You have come to the place where change is absolutely essential in order to live more consciously, authentically, and in alignment with the world and relationships you want to experience around you. You may not even know how to name what is not working for you right now but you know that something is “off”. Issues and problems can be manifesting in your job, your finances, your relationships, your mental and physical health and your spiritual life. Assistance is out there to help you take those steps in the most loving direction to create what is necessary to help you thrive in every area of your life. I have 30 years experience in the mental health field and have worked in a number of healthcare settings. I focus on helping people to regain a sense of personal authority, self confidence and direction to make the most loving decisions for their lives. I work with individuals ages 18 and over from all backgrounds, orientations and environments. I look forward to connecting with you!

Please read to the end. I want to save you time and work to give you important information about me so hopefully we are a good initial match. I schedule video sessions based on our mutual schedules. After we initially get in touch we can set up a time to meet online. I have a fairly flexible schedule and am likely able to find a time that works for both of us. I am dually licensed in North Carolina and Tennessee with 13 years of therapy experience. I work with clients who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief and loss and life transitions of all kinds. I strive to create an open and safe environment where thoughts, feelings and human situations can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. Please note: I am a secular therapist and do not work from a religious point of view. I use clinically sound and research backed methods in my work. I'm also working at a very part time level on this platform and if I do not accept you as a client it is usually because of lack of availability. I want you to know this in order to save you time while you have your subscription. Thank you for your understanding.
