I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.

The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!

I'm a dog-obsessor, nerd for flowers, and avid audiobook listener. I've been working in therapeutic settings since 2011. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about how to help others as they struggle, succeed, and move into becoming the person they’ve always wanted to be. I've learned the power of warmth & empathy... and also how to be straight up when my clients need to hear the truth.

It’s also probably helpful for you to know that I can’t help but drop the “f-bomb” at least once a minute. Oops.

As humans, I believe we need a soft place to land. Being in the world brings with it a variety of feelings, thoughts, and sensations, but often we struggle to find space in our lives to process these experiences. I believe the connection and safety offered through individual therapy creates an opportunity to name the parts of us that feel painful or confusing or joyful — to allow us to move toward greater self-acceptance by noticing and being heard.

Life is hard. Sometimes you need a helping hand to overcome challenges and to live your best life. I believe you have the ability and power to heal yourself and to improve your situation. My goal is to help you have a life filled with joy and meaning, whatever that looks like to you. I work with children, youth and adults who are struggling with their identity, their relationships, their beliefs, their emotions, their past, their work life, their academics, their athletic performance, and their life goals. People I have helped include those with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, neurodiversity, and gender expression issues.

I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) and nationally certified counselor (NCC) with a master’s degree from Lenoir-Rhyne University. I provide trauma-informed therapy for children, teens, and adults experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, and difficult life experiences. I use EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed approaches to help clients process painful experiences, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident and in control. My goal is to provide a judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.
