Great to meet you!

I know how it feels to yearn for a home within yourself. The constant, nagging feeling of disconnect. Looking in the mirror and seeing through yourself instead of connecting to who you really are. If you’ve ever felt like your identity doesn’t fit neatly into a box, if the weight of the world feels impossibly heavy some days, or if your journey through healing is deeply personal and nonlinear, I am right there with you. Here, therapy is not about “fixing” you. It’s about walking beside you as you untangle your story, reconnect with your truth, and find meaning in the chaos. Your lore is safe with me.

A little about me, your groovy new therapist:

I am originally from High Point, NC and studied English Language and Literature as well as Pedagogy and the Mind as an undergraduate at East Carolina University. I went on to work for East Carolina University full time while also completing my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. At the end of my graduate career, I studied abroad in Spain and Portugal and subsequently moved back to High Point, North Carolina. I now live in the Triad area practicing as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, and National Certified Counselor. In my free time, I love to spend time with my husband, Shanon, our tortie cat, Sacred Jewel, and our silly weenie dog, Huckleberry. I like to draw, paint, collage, and write in journals. I also like philosophical books, comedy, unique cinema, spooky & self-help podcasts, crafting, and occasional gaming. I'm always down for a deep conversation about the universe, nostalgia, eclectic music, a good laugh, and some introspection.

A bit about my approach to therapy

In this space, therapy is not a prescription, and you are not a case study. I focus on sharing the human experience. Rooted in queer-affirming care, existential and narrative therapy, and harm reduction, my practice integrates top-down understanding with bottom-up wisdom. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about presence.

What you can expect from our first session

This is a place for the questioners, the deep feelers, the critical thinkers, the artists and muses, the queerfolk and neurodivergent, and the beautifully complex. When we hang out in session together, I will meet you where you are free of judgment so we can dig deep into the patterns that shape you. The vast majority of my clients see and feel progress build over several months.

You are not too much. Your pain is not too heavy. Your joy, your grief, your questions—They all belong here. Let’s work together to create a therapy space that’s affirming, radical, and deeply human. Whether you’re unraveling layers of deep existential crises or trying to break free from toxic patterns you’ve outgrown, I'll help you write the next chapter.
