Life has taken me through many roles over the years. Mentor, Army veteran, volunteer, mother, and problem solver but one thing that has stayed consistent is my ability to sit with people in hard moments without judgment.

I was the person people came to when life felt heavy, confusing, or overwhelming. The person who listened, helped people slow things down, and supported them in finding solutions that made sense for their life. That part of me never changed, so becoming a licensed counselor just felt like home.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University in 2022.

And let me just say…
I’m glad you found your way here.

A lot of the people I work with are used to feeling misunderstood. Many are navigating trauma, chronic overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, emotional intensity, or realizing they may be neurodivergent in a world that constantly asks them to perform, mask, or push past their own needs.

Therapy with me is not about turning you into a perfect version of yourself. It’s not about forcing positivity, over pathologizing your experiences, or acting like coping skills alone erase real life.

Here, you are allowed to:
Take the lead.
Be yourself, your language, your culture, and all.
Slow down enough to hear yourself.
Learn what works for your specific situations so you can move through life with more awareness, balance, and steadiness.

(Pinky promise.)

I do not believe healing is one size fits all, so I use an eclectic approach that leaves room for you to be human. Clinically, that may sound like CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic work, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and skill building. From me, it looks like helping you notice patterns without judgment, reconnect with yourself and your body, understand the impact your experiences have had on you, and build tools that support your actual day to day life instead of just sounding good in theory.

If you’re looking for a therapist who feels down to earth, direct, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, I’d be honored to support you.

Sometimes finding your footing starts with small shifts that slowly create steadier ground beneath you.
