Great to meet you!

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by trauma or ADHD? As a trauma-informed therapist, I help adults move past patterns of over-responsibility, self-doubt, and disconnection using IFS, EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic therapy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in honoring your lived experience. I also provide clinical supervision for LCMHCAs in North Carolina, offering a supportive, reflective space to grow confidence and deepen clinical skills.

My approach to therapy

I offer a grounded, supportive space where you can slow down, listen inward, and begin to untangle the patterns that keep you stuck. Whether you're navigating the effects of trauma, ADHD, or chronic anxiety, I help you make sense of your inner world with curiosity and compassion—not judgment.

What you can expect from me

In sessions I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, mindfulness, and expressive arts to support deep, lasting healing. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and paced to feel safe. We'll explore your inner world at a pace that feels safe and reconnect helping you reconnect with the parts of you that carry pain, or feel stuck. Over time, you'll build more clarity, confidence, and trust in yourself.
