“Together, we can create a safe and empowering space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood”
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in providing compassionate, individualized therapy to both adults and adolescents. I offer both online and in-person counseling sessions in the Charlotte area, providing flexible access to therapy that meets your unique needs. Navigating major life changes can be overwhelming. Together, we’ll explore strategies to help you manage and thrive through transitions. From career changes to personal milestones, I offer support for those undergoing significant shifts in their life journey. Understanding and addressing the complexities of identity and culture is central to the work we’ll do. We’ll explore your experiences through a lens of inclusivity and respect.
As a counselor committed to social justice, I offer a safe, affirming space for those from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. I take a whole-person approach, integrating mental, emotional, and physical well-being into our work together. With mindfulness practices, you can learn to stay grounded, reduce stress, and enhance your overall well-being. I am committed to addressing systemic inequities and their impact on mental health, providing support in navigating these challenges. I work with individuals in the perinatal period to support emotional and mental wellness before, during, and after pregnancy.
I integrate several therapeutic modalities tailored to meet your individual needs: Motivational Interviewing (MI): A collaborative approach that helps you find your intrinsic motivation to make meaningful changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focuses on embracing difficult emotions while making choices aligned with your values. Mindfulness-Based Approaches: I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help you stay present and manage anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. Psychodynamic Therapy: We’ll explore your past and unconscious processes to gain insight and create lasting changes in your emotional life.
Whether you're facing challenges related to identity, life transitions, or seeking a holistic approach to mental health, I am here to help guide and support you on your journey toward growth and healing. Together, we can create a safe and empowering space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood.
