About
As a Black woman clinical mental health counselor and community care provider, I create space with clients, especially those carrying the weight of relational and systemic stress, to explore their emotions, challenge harmful thoughts, reconnect with their bodies, and build lives rooted in dignity and collective care.
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor associate (LCMHCA) with 9 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, substance use, grief, identity development, and relational challenges. I value working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and recognize how intersecting identities and systemic factors can influence wellness.
I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from North Carolina A&T State University. My approach is integrated and trauma-informed, drawing from person-centered therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and relational-cultural theory. I also incorporate cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, expressive arts, and somatic techniques.
Therapy is a collaborative space where you can explore emotions, build self-awareness, and move toward meaningful change. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel seen and understood. If you are ready to begin or continue your wellness journey, I invite you to schedule a session.

After a few drinks, you tell yourself, it’s time to go. You know you should stop, go home, and get a good night’s sleep before work tomorrow. But then the TV closest to you starts showing highlights from the big game. You figure, it couldn’t hurt to stay and watch those. Might as well have another while you’re there. Everybody needs to let off steam somehow. No problem, right? Yes. Or possibly no. It can be hard to say when healthy alcohol use turns into misuse or even alcoholism.
Many people are unsure about where the line is between enjoying an adult beverage, an unhealthy habit, or even an addiction. Lots of people wrestle with when and how much to drink and therapy has helped them take back control of their alcohol use. The therapists at Thriveworks Greensboro offer treatment for alcoholism, and many people have overcome alcohol addiction and abuse with their help.
Alcohol use disorder is more commonly known as alcoholism or alcohol addiction. Whatever term is used, it describes a chemical imbalance in a person’s brain. The chemical that releases good feelings during alcohol use increases while the chemical that curbs impulsiveness abates.
The brain’s disequilibration shows up in loss of control. Alcoholics may imbibe impulsively, be unable to curb alcohol consumption, and feel negative emotions when alcohol is not in their system.
Think about how and when you use alcohol as you read this list of concerning behaviors:
Do you recognize any of the behavior on this list in your own life or in the life of someone you love? If so, seeing a therapist may be an important step. A professional, objective opinion could mitigate a host of difficulties that come with untreated alcoholism.
Regaining control of alcohol consumption is a difficult process, but worth the effort. Just as people go to a doctor to treat most illnesses, many people benefit from seeing a therapist for alcoholism. Seeking treatment and therapy may provide the support people need to find the right path toward healing.
How, when, and where the alcoholism formed are unique to each individual, and treatment should be tailored to each individual as well. A skilled therapist may accelerate healing by diagnosing the alcoholism and finding appropriate treatments that benefit each client’s particular needs.
Therapist, in general, take a multifaceted approach to treating alcoholism. First, patients may need to go through a process of detoxing and cleansing the body of alcohol. But there are many ways to maintain sobriety. Therapists may help clients find psychosocial, psychological, or pharmacological treatment and many combinations of the three.
When you read through the list of concerning behaviors with alcohol, did you recognize any in your own life? Maybe you are not sure if you use alcohol in a healthy way or not. Maybe you know that controlling how much you drink is getting harder. Maybe talking to a professional is the right next step for you.
