Therapist

Virtual & in-person

5403 Weyerhaeuser Road, Ayden, NC

I work primarily with Christian women who feel overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life—especially those navigating chronic health challenges alongside anxiety, depression, burnout, or grief. You may feel like taking care of your health, your responsibilities, your relationships, and your faith has become a full-time job, and you're tired of always feeling behind.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with specialized training in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy. I believe counseling can be a place where your faith is welcomed rather than set aside. Together, we can work toward greater peace with God, yourself, others, and the life you’re living.
