I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology, from Campbell University in 2013. I completed my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University in 2017. Throughout my educational training I gained experience working with a variety of clients in a private practice setting, facilitated multiple therapy groups for childrens/teens struggling with social skills, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. I have additional training and certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and trauma informed care as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I’m a therapist who loves creating a safe, supportive space for both adults and teens navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, or the complexities of being neurodivergent. Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes we just need someone alongside us to make sense of it all—without judgment, without pressure, and without fear of being invalidated.

About Me



Enduring hard times can sometimes make you feel disconnected from who you truly are—or who you want to become. Relationships shift, life stages change, and it’s easy to lose sight of yourself along the way. Healing often comes when we reconnect with our authentic selves and show compassion for all the parts that make us… well, us.


I especially enjoy supporting teens and young adults through life transitions, interpersonal challenges, and emotional ups and downs. But I also deeply value working with adults who may be carrying unresolved trauma, stress, or anxiety into their relationships and daily lives. Together, we’ll explore your story, find what’s keeping you stuck, and build tools that actually help you feel more grounded and connected.


My approach blends trauma-informed care, psychoeducation, DBT strategies, and a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. I like to keep things grounded, practical, and yes… sometimes with a touch of gentle, dark humor.


I’m especially passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals. Brains that work differently can sometimes feel out of step with the world, leaving you misunderstood, anxious, or isolated. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, and equipped to thrive—no matter how your brain is wired.


If you’re looking for a therapist who meets you where you are, values all the complexities of your experiences, and offers guidance without judgment, I’d love to work with you.

The Sun Will Rise

When I'm not in the office



Beyond the therapy room, you can find me making memories with my little one and family, diving into true crime shows, rewatching The Office, or reading a new thriller book (while staring at all the books on my “Therapist shelf”). I embrace and seek out authentic connections, laughter and new dance moves.
