FAQ
-
Are you a licensed therapist?
Yes! I am fully independently licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I have an active Temporary Practice Permit pending permanent licensure in MS. I can work with clients virtually across the states of NC & MS.
My license is through the NCBLMHC (license #16428). My NPI# is 1477814994.
Our industry expects the country-wide adoption of a counseling compact in 2026. Once active, I will be accepting clients from most states in the US.
-
What will therapy with you be like?
I strive to bring authenticity to my work. I tend to be direct and often utilize humor during sessions. My main goal is to make you feel comfortable and understood.
During our sessions, we’ll get curious about current issues you’re dealing with so that we can identify patterns of behavior. We will likely examine past relationships and experiences. When we have a good understanding of the challenges, we’ll create strategies to help you feel better.
-
Will you take one of our sides in couples counseling?
Not at all! My job is to support both of you equally. I help you each share what’s on your mind, understand each other’s perspective, and work together toward solutions. I’m not here to take sides—I’m here to help your relationship feel stronger and more connected.
