I’m a clinical psychologist who believes that through therapy, you can enhance your well-being by reclaiming joy, deepening connections, and creating a fulfilling life, even in the face of challenges.

I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting challenges, work stress, and the emotional weight of unresolved trauma. My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychotherapy, integrating the science of emotion and attachment to foster meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you are feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, struggling in your relationships, or seeking more ease in your role as a parent, you do not have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a space for you to heal, grow, and step into a life that aligns with your values.

Beyond my professional expertise, I understand the weight of worry, the overwhelm of daily life, and the complexity of relationships. My own journey has taught me to live with intention, resilience, and self-compassion, and to navigate challenges with confidence. I want to help you do the same.

I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in working with anxious overthinkers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, and caregivers who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally drained on the inside.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a school counselor, which deeply shaped how I approach mental health, relationships, and family systems. I also bring lived experience as a parent into my work, especially when supporting clients who are navigating stress, burnout, and the emotional demands of raising children.

I'm a licensed social worker who truly loves helping people navigate life's challenges. My journey into therapy was deeply personal—after moving to North Carolina away from family, I realized I wanted to create a practice that allows me to be fully present both for my clients and for my seven-year-old daughter. This balance has given me a unique perspective on the real-world struggles parents and caregivers face. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety and adolescents going through difficult transitions. I also have experience as a TTL visitation specialist, supporting families through custody battles, which has deepened my understanding of family dynamics during stressful times. I'm here to help you through trauma, anxiety, or whatever life is throwing your way.

I attended the University of South Carolina, served in the United States Air Force.
