I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Charlotte, NC. I established Black Magnolia Counseling Services to create a space for individuals struggling with feeling lost amidst the pressures from daily life, responsibilities, relationships and social expectations.

I am passionate about working with college students, emerging young adults and adults struggling with anxiety and low-self esteem, especially when it impacts confidence in themselves, in their bodies and in their relationships. My clients often experience struggles including perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem and poor boundaries which can lead feelings of burnout and unhappiness.

As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, I also love working with neurodiverse clients, clients who may be undiagnosed but recognize some neurospicy traits in themselves, ones who are recently diagnosed or are looking for support within the experience of their diagnosis. I love helping clients understand more about themselves, normalizing their life experience as well as helping them develop practical strategies for managing executive dysfunction, overwhelm, and other challenges life brings.

In session, I bring my authentic self, incorporating humor to balance the heavier topics we may explore. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing space where you feel heard and feel supported in your decision to embark on the journey toward finding your true self.
