My background includes working specifically with children and adolescents in a variety of settings including an adolescent partial hospitalization program, outpatient therapy, and public schools to provide direct therapeutic services to the community. I often work with clients who have challenges related to anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, relationship conflicts, and self-esteem. I practice with a holistic, empowerment-based approach and strive to create a safe and validating environment for my clients in session. I currently accept clients ages 13-25. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, as well as mindfulness-based practices in session. I understand the importance of family support and the impact mental health can have on family dynamics and vice versa. As a result, I am currently pursuing training in Attachment-Based Family Therapy. I enjoy focusing on strengths and self-love to uncover further opportunities for growth, process challenges, and develop one’s own core beliefs. I am passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, and welcome the opportunity to provide support and encouragement to clients in outpatient therapy and our Intensive Outpatient Program.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I provide individual and couple counseling services in Charlotte, NC. I provide counseling to adolescence, adults, couples, and families. I provide counseling on issues dealing with anxiety, depression, identity, low self-esteem, stress, life changes, individuals who are having issues adjusting to a new country/culture. Including relationship issues, gay and lesbian issues. I have experience working with adolescence with sexually harmful behaviors and have experienced sexual trauma.I believe therapy is a collaborative effort. My approach is client-centered, based on the belief that every individual brings a unique outlook on personal, family and cultural experiences. In our sessions, we will explore different areas in your life that you feel may be causing you distress. We will look at the way your family/cultural history has impacted your values, behaviors, and relationships in a safe environment. My hope is that together, you will gain insight that will promote awareness and lead to a positive change. [Read More]

My practice focuses on individual therapy with adults and adolescents. With compassionate, nonjudgmental listening, I provide a supportive space where you can safely explore areas for healing and growth. Together, we clarify your current experience and what you would like to see happen as a result of therapy. Relief, insight, courage? You may want to overcome or cope with difficult emotions, restore hope and confidence, repair or build relationships, create healthier patterns, or establish and maintain recovery. Therapy works. Through a therapeutic relationship over time, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, and with compassionate awareness, experience meaningful growth. Having worked in the mental health community since 1994, I am experienced in assessment, counseling, crisis intervention and resource connection for people with a wide array of issues. My work includes inpatient behavioral health and outpatient treatment settings. Trained in mindfulness practices, I incorporate these practices into therapy as desired. For those seeking a sliding scale fee, I recommend Open Path Psychotherapy Collective as an option to obtain affordable therapy. A portion of my practice is reserved for OPPC members.
