Great to meet you!

As a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina and Maine. my focus has always been on ensuring that my clients benefit from our time together. After obtaining my Master of Social Work in 2003, I have spent many years working with numerous populations, including children of preschool to college age, adults of all ages, with various mental health concerns and needs. I look forward to using this experience to support you, too.

My approach to therapy

I'll be a consistent presence on your therapeutic journey. My goal is to always meet you where you are. I will absolutely be your cheerleader if you need me to be, but I'll also challenge you as we explore your motivations, working together to address your needs.

I have the experience to support you with whatever you may be managing. If you're struggling with anxiety or depression; job-related issues; fertility related, pregnancy, postpartum or parenting stressors; financial concerns, as well as the ability to help you address general overwhelm.

What you can expect from me

We'll meet regularly via telehealth, which allows us to hold sessions while you're in your own space - whether that's at your office, in your car (only if parked!), or at home with pets nearby and cozy blankets on hand.

I'm here to provide you with a welcoming, non-judgmental space to discuss what matters most to you. Regardless of what you are struggling with, I'd love to connect and offer you guidance through the therapy process. This is an opportunity to explore your concerns, and have your needs addressed and met, while working together to determine the best course of action moving forward.

I hope to meet you soon!
