Therapy is a lifelong journey filled with ebbs and flows. Our work together may be brief or longstanding. No matter the length of time, my goal is to help you create a plan to live a values based life amidst everyday challenges.

I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment that encourages vulnerability. Therapy is an individualized and tailored approach that allows people to walk their journey at different paces.

I recognize that you are the expert in your experience and encourage you to choose the path that is right for you.

  During my graduate studies, I worked with a local company doing research and project creation on substance use disorders. This opportunity allowed me to build a strong foundation in understanding the needs of communities across the state of North Carolina. I spent my final year of graduate school as an intern at Third Wave Psychotherapy, where I developed my personal therapeutic style. I was able to practice and gain skills in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Treatment Planning, and resource building.
