At Teatime With Khi, PLLC, I am inspired by the African American slang “spilling the tea,” which symbolizes the value of sharing one’s truth in a nurturing setting. I believe that when individuals feel free to express their authentic selves, they pave the way for life-changing opportunities.

Sometimes things happen that affect the way we see the world, the way we treat people, and the way we think about ourselves. This can happen to anyone. Sometimes, when life knocks you down, it can be tough getting back up. I help people get up. I currently specialize in relationship counseling not limited to intimate partner relationships, but also everyday interactions i.e., working, organizational, non-traditional, casual, mutually beneficial, and structural. I commonly assist with communication which is a major underlying issue found within relationship dysfunction. My preferred methodologies for treatment are Gestalt therapy, Autogenic Training, CBT, Existential Therapy, and grief counseling. My strengths lie in understanding, compassion, mutual respect, and experience. I am able to channel levels of comprehension in the following areas: Abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, jealousy, forgiveness, lack of trust, relationship strain, and everyday challenges. Other areas of proficiency include coping with life changes, communication problems, divorce and separation, emptiness, and intimacy-related issues.

College is supposed to be an exciting time, but sometimes it feels like you’re just trying to keep your head above water. Between classes, friendships, relationships, family expectations, work, and trying to figure out what you actually want for your future, it can be a lot. At Haven House Counseling Collective, we work with college students who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, stuck, or unsure of themselves. Maybe you’re constantly stressed, putting a lot of pressure on yourself, struggling with confidence, comparing yourself to everyone around you, or trying to balance everyone else’s expectations while figuring out your own. Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to have it all together. We’ll work together to better understand what you’re feeling, manage the stress and anxiety that comes with life, build confidence, set healthier boundaries, and navigate relationships and life transitions in a way that feels right for you. You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. Sometimes you just need a place to talk things out with someone who gets it. If you’re ready to feel less overwhelmed and more like yourself again, we’d love to help.

On the outside it looks like you have it all together, but inside you're engaged in a constant struggle for control. Your anxiety, OCD, and/or eating disorder has taken over your life. You find yourself in a constant loop of feeling worried, nervous, stressed and at times not good enough, thin enough, or smart enough. You’re stuck and unable to find the relief that you crave, so you try temporary fixes. Sometimes you disconnect and avoid people and your responsibilities, sometimes you binge, sometimes you purge, and sometimes you try to use anything that will distract your mind. You find, however, that your mind just wont turn off. You desperately want to know what it would feel like to not be consumed with the thoughts that cause you to constantly worry about issues like food, your body, or all of the what if's in your life. You’re tired of being consumed by fear. Imagine you could learn the techniques to heal and be free from panic attacks, OCD, binging, restricting and purging food. As a specialist in eating disorders, body image issues OCD, Intrusive thoughts, phobias such as agoraphobia, BFRB's, anxiety and gender identity issues/dysphoria, I provide tools to not be consumed with thoughts that cause constant worries about issues like food, your body, or scary intrusive thoughts. In addition to my specialties, I have extensive experience treating PTSD, and Autism/neurodiversity. I am trained in ERP, I-CBT, and ACT for OCD. For eating disorders I am trained in CBT-E, or CBT-AR, along with FBT, and ERP. For disorders such as trichotillomania, and Skin picking I utilize CBT along with Habit Reversal Training (HRT), ACT, and the (ComB) model.

As a counselor, my professional identity is one of authenticity, curiosity, and empathy. I care deeply about helping my clients improve their lives. I believe that starts with the two of us forming a genuine connection so that I can best understand your personality, your worldview, and the problems you are facing – the world can be a tough place and we all have times when we could use someone to listen and understand us. I will repeatedly check in with you to assess your goals for therapy and make sure that we are making progress towards meeting those goals. In our sessions, I will use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reduce the types of thinking that can lead to negative emotions. I will also incorporate other techniques such as mindfulness meditation that many clients find useful. Together, we will work as a team to confront the issues that are troubling you. I received my BS in Biology from Duke University and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of the Cumberlands. I've also been a research assistant in Princeton University's departments of social psychology and neuroscience. I try to stay up to date with current research and use only empirically validated modalities with my clients.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in NC and SC. My clinical experience encompasses working at multiple university counseling centers. There, I have supported students and postdocs of various ages (young adults to those in middle adulthood) through therapy. Whether you are navigating challenging life adjustments, the transition to college, anxiety, relationship concerns, concerns related to racial identity, grief, academic or career stress, or other concerns, there is hope for healing and growth. When it comes to therapy, I seek to empower clients to recognize their capabilities and move toward beneficial change. Through warmth, encouragement, and compassion, I aim to build a collaborative relationship with clients and create a safe, nonjudgmental space. I seek to meet each client's individual needs, believing there is no "one-size-fits-all” approach to treatment. To do this, I draw techniques from different modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindful self-compassion (MSC), interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). If you are ready to take the next step and see if we are a good fit, I invite you to reach out.
