I have known since I was about 10 years old that I wanted to be a counselor. Coming from my complex family dynamics, I was always intrigued by how people operated and why they did what they did. I went on to receive my BA in Psychology from UNC Wilmington and then my Masters in Social Work from UNC Charlotte. My focus in undergrad was on relationships and in grad school was substance abuse. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices—including person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy—depending on what works best for you. I specialize in working with adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and relationship issues—whether romantic, familial, or otherwise.
I'm here to help you make sense of what you're going through and support you in moving toward the life you want. In our early sessions, we'll take time to build trust and connection. I want to hear your story, understand your goals, and create a space where you feel safe, heard, and empowered to grow. My role is to meet you where you are and support you at your pace as you move toward where you want to be. I’m passionate about helping people live fulfilling, joyful lives with healthy, meaningful relationships. If you're ready to begin this journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
