Charity (she/her) is a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wake Forest University. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she also completed double minors in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Human Development and Family Studies.

Her passion for mental health and helping others was strengthened through her three years of experience working as a Behavioral Technician (BT) with children on the autism spectrum. In this role, she supported children in developing communication, social, emotional, and life skills while recognizing and celebrating their individual strengths and progress. This experience deepened her commitment to creating supportive environments where individuals feel understood, valued, and empowered.

As a future clinical mental health counselor, she strives to approach counseling with empathy, compassion, authenticity, and cultural humility. Her goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and encouraged to recognize their strengths, build resilience, and work toward the life they envision for themselves.
