Licensed Professional Counselor, with a M.S. in Counseling and Psychology, certifications in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Clinical Biofeedback, Clinical Hypnotherapy, Addictions and Life Coaching. Experienced working with diverse populations in outpatient clinics, military hospitals, offices, schools, the film and media industries.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I understand the importance of providing exceptional care that is both compassionate and empathetic. I am currently licensed in North Carolina and Virginia. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

During my academic years, I worked as an assistant to the court psychologist at the Department of Juvenile Justice in Charlotte, NC. I had the opportunity to assist with juvenile court reports and attend court hearings for youth offenders. I also worked alongside mental health professionals mentoring underserved youth in underrepresented areas of Mecklenburg County. Following my undergraduate degree, I gained extensive experience in various pediatric behavioral health settings, providing therapeutic interventions and community-based rehabilitative services. I have over 12 years experience providing mental health assistance and treatment to our military population and their family members, who have been impacted by domestic violence, child abuse, child neglect, anxiety, depression, PTSD, conflict, anger, relationship distress, and adjustment issues. In addition to therapy, I have experience working in federal behavior health policy and research.

I believe therapy should be a safe space where individuals can openly and honestly discuss most aspects of life to enhance their mental wellbeing. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, and I work closely with each individual and couple to identify their unique needs and establish the best therapeutic approach. Despite my training in various modalities focused on grief, couples, anger, and trauma, I prefer to use cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy techniques in my work with couples and individuals.

I am a warm, compassionate therapist with over 10 years of experience working in mental health with both children and adults. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals and families through moments of crisis, transition, and growth, always centering care that is human, respectful, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood—whether they are navigating acute stress, long-standing challenges, or simply seeking greater clarity and connection in their lives. My approach is grounded in empathy, practical support, and a deep belief in each person’s capacity for resilience and change. Firmly LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to anti-fascist, anti-oppressive care.

My clinical background includes working in emergency behavioral health settings, where I help individuals stabilize during some of life’s most challenging moments.

I have a particular passion for working with individuals impacted by critical incidents, acute stress, adjustment to change, and those navigating anxiety, depression, and overwhelming life stress.

Many of the young people I work with come to me feeling trapped. It's as if the weight of what they're carrying is too heavy to put into words, and they're not sure anyone will understand. Anxiety and depression can make the world feel impossibly small, and for some, those feelings have led to self-harm or thoughts of suicide. I specialize in working with teens and young people, though I welcome clients of all ages — because feeling stuck doesn't come with an age limit.
