My goal is to…
collaborate with individuals experiencing mental health concerns and openly invite them to courageously meet themselves.
I believe that the best approach to therapy is not an intervention, a technique, or a worksheet, but instead the way we can meet ourselves where we are at.
Through experience, I’ve found that when we continually collaborate, build rapport with ourselves, and grow the therapeutic relationship, we can build a space that is experienced as safe, and create meaningful change in our mental health that feels authentic to us.
This practice supports adult individuals experiencing anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Body Image Concerns, Relationship Challenges, and Life Stressors.

Background and Approach
After receiving my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University in 2020 and becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I gained unique experience providing services to individuals experiencing hyperarousal dysfunction related symptoms (anxiety, PTSD, OCD) in private practice and immersed myself in continued education and training.
Throughout my practice I have learned the most effective approach is one that is personalized to meet the needs of each individual client. To honor the unique and genuine concerns each client presents, for EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), ACT informed ERP for OCD (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy informed Exposure and Response Prevention for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), Neurodivergence, Gender Affirming Care, Body Image and approaches to working with disordered eating, and other therapeutic approaches including Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Attachment Therapy and Relational Therapy.
It is my goal to provide clients with an environment where they may fully be their authentic self, no matter how life has been recently.
In my clinical experience, I have found when people are given the opportunity to be heard, understood, and appreciated, healing often follows.
Life presents us with challenges of all types, and it is my privilege to build the therapeutic relationship with clients and help individuals develop awareness and skills that feel authentic to them, to move through all that we face in life, so that the experience of life itself is something we can enjoy.
I provide services to adults in Charlotte, North Carolina seeking telehealth therapy for trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, body image concerns, LGBTQIA+ concerns, life transitions, career exploration, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and identity exploration.
