I'm so glad you're here! I love working with new moms, helping them navigate the transition into their new role, and high achieving women who have learned to self silence and/or suppress their needs. Helping women navigate any of the challenging transitions of life (newly separated/divorced, new jobs, new relationship, college admission/graduation) is a real passion of mine!

If you have been feeling stuck and having difficulty with motivation or decision paralysis, I can help with that! If you have been struggling to experience joy, let's talk!

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I know how hard it is to learn to talk about difficult things. That made me want to help others learn to do the same. I started by volunteering at rape crisis and domestic violence shelters. When I was at these places I did outreach in the community and ran support groups for both. For a time, I took rape crisis hospital calls to support people who had come in for sexual assault exams. This work that taught me to be comfortable talking about anything, at any time, with anyone. I have worked with all types of individuals from ages 12 and up. My first Masters was an intensive dive into Human Rights. My second Masters was in Counseling so I could work with individuals to help them beyond the crisis moments. My passion is to help people progress towards healing.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boone

Finding the right therapist in Boone, NC starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Boone-area providers commonly work with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions — and many specialize in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and family therapy. Whether you're a student at Appalachian State, a long-time Watauga County resident, or living in a nearby community like Banner Elk or West Jefferson, consider what matters most to you in a provider — their specialty, availability, session format, and whether they offer virtual or in-person appointments.

Therapy in Boone can be expensive without coverage. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session — though costs vary based on your specific plan and location.

Because Boone is a smaller mountain community, local availability can be limited. Virtual therapy expands your options by connecting you with licensed North Carolina providers beyond the immediate area. On Headway, you can browse providers who offer virtual sessions, review their bios to learn about their style and approach, and book directly when you find someone who fits.
