Great to meet you!

I received my Master of Social Work from East Carolina University and have been practicing as a therapist for 11 years. I believe the foundation of effective therapy lies in a strong therapeutic relationship- one built on trust, openness, and authenticity. I am known for my open-minded, nonjudgmental, and creative approach, helping my clients feel understood and supported as we work together toward growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

I utilize a variety of strategies and approaches in my practice based on the individual needs of each client. Identifying what is, and what is not working in our lives is the first step toward wellness. My practice is designed to raise self-awareness of unique, individual strengths. The uncovering, embracing, and expression of these strengths can foster the ability to overcome obstacles that impede holistic wellness. Using a biological, psychological, and social approach, we can work together to identify patterns and get you on the path towards empowerment and wellness.

What you can expect from me

Our first session together will be focused on getting to know each other. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most valuable and powerful tool to promote effective results. I am confident in my ability to connect with my clients in an authentic, genuine way. I consider this to be one of my greatest strengths and am honored to use it to empower my clients to move toward positive change.
