About Me I believe that the changes that we want to make in our lives start by finding meaning in our experiences and connection with others. My time working in schools, outpatient, and acute settings provided me with the tools to support you or your loved one through a collaborative relationship. My Approach Whether it is your first time looking for support or if this is a part of a longer process, I would like to meet you where that is. I work with individuals from childhood through adulthood who are seeking support for various reasons such as life transitions, anxiety, depression, personal identity, stress, and relationships. With your goals in mind, I draw from a variety of evidence based therapies such as psychodynamic and play, as well as cognitive and dialectical behavioral.

In addition to psychotherapy, I also provide child, adolescent, and adult educational and psychological assessment for various referral questions to address academic, behavioral, and emotional challenges.

It can be a challenge to find your center or balance when everything around you seems to be out of your control. Things are happening so fast and it can be scary. Searching for your true self in a world that adds filters to glamorize everyday life is a struggle. It can be difficult to find the balance between assertiveness, passiveness, honesty and consideration. Therapy is a space that is yours to discover answers to the questions that keep you up at night or cause you to overthink an "awkward" encounter with someone. Therapy is a safe and confidential space to explore who you are; to name, understand and better manage emotions. Take the opportunity to seek growth in your personal, professional, academic and/or romantic life. We can identify reasonable boundaries and coping strategies that support your mental and emotional well-being. You can let go of feeling misunderstood, underestimated, unseen or lost. Because you are worthy. So, let's find your light together. It is hard to trust a stranger to take this journey with you; therapists are special kind of people. Our job is to help others and provide a space that is nurturing to your needs. You deserve to take advantage of that. I invite you to call or send an email anytime. We can schedule a free consultation to help determine if I am the right fit for you.
Your chest is tight & you have trouble catching your breath. Sweating, nausea, heart pounding. You avoid situations, become agitated, cling to others. You worry-thinking the worst possible outcome is going to happen. You feel sad, tired, guilty if you don’t meet expectations. You’re exhausted but afraid to slow down or say ‘no’ to others, fearing rejection or loneliness.

This doesn't have to be your 'normal'. Life doesn't have to be this hard. You want to feel happy, excited & fulfilled in your daily life. You want to relax & enjoy the life you have worked for. You're ready to silence your inner critic & learn to be kind to yourself. You have the ability to live the life you dream & deserve, to explore your true self AND find your happiness again.

People usually don’t come to therapy because everything is going great — something’s off, something hurts, or something just isn’t working. Maybe you're overwhelmed, stuck in anxiety spirals, in a relationship that feels like a full-time job, or replaying the same patterns on a loop and wondering why life feels like a bad rerun. Whether it’s stress, communication breakdowns, or feeling like you’ve become everyone’s emotional support human, we’ll sort through the mess together. The goal is to help you move forward with more clarity, confidence, and a little less chaos in your day-to-day. I also specialize in helping those impacted by narcissistic behavior, whether you're spotting some of those traits in yourself, or you're in a relationship that feels confusing, one-sided, or emotionally draining. These patterns can be difficult to untangle, but together we can help make sense of it. My style blends empathy, curiosity, real talk, and humor—because sometimes if you don’t laugh, you cry. I’m here to support you and gently challenge old habits. Growth is messy, awkward, and sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s also where the good stuff lives. If you're ready to dive in- not just to feel better, but to do better- I’m here for it.
My mission is to walk alongside teenage and college-aged women, children, and families on their journey towards health and flourishing. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling that addresses the emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual facets of who we are. As a former student I understand the severe challenges college can bring. I am seeking to care for those struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. I desire to be a light in the darkness and a source of hope and comfort for others in their own seasons of struggle. I am also happy to incorporate faith and spirituality in the counseling process upon request. I am a counseling intern under supervision pursuing my Master's degree in Christian Marriage, Family, and Individual Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
