I have a special interest in ADHD, Anxiety, Addiction, Bereavement, and neurodivergent affirming care.
I believe neurodivergence is not a disorder to be fixed but a natural variation of the human mind. As a neurodivergent clinician myself, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to the work. I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating systems that were not built for our brains, as well as the strengths, creativity, and resilience that come with thinking differently. I offer a validating, nonpathologizing space where clients can be fully themselves without masking.
While traditional evidence based treatments have value, many were not designed with neurodivergent people in mind and can unintentionally reinforce shame or unrealistic expectations. That is why I take an integrative approach, blending structured methods with flexibility, compassion, and creativity. I draw from holistic practices, nervous system regulation, and the Living in Balance model to support the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Therapy with me is not about fixing you but about building a life that works for your brain, not against it.

Are you seeking growth, change, and renewal in your life? Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, grief and loss, or substance use struggles, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate these challenges by yourself.
With over 13 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS), I support adults of all ages, including veterans, military personnel and spouses, healthcare and government workers, therapists, students, individuals in high-burnout careers, and anyone seeking affirming, non-judgmental care. I help clients transmute pain into power, forging a renewed path that aligns with their authentic self and goals.
I specialize in neurodiversity, anxiety disorders, depression, life transitions, adult survivors of narcissistic abuse, religious trauma, divorce, grief and loss, chronic pain, addiction, and many other areas. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Therapy to provide tailored, practical, and lasting solutions that meet your individual goals.
My passion lies in empowering my clients to build resilience, reclaim joy, and lead more fulfilling lives. As a non-judgmental, affirming therapist with extensive experience in mental health, addiction, trauma recovery, and self-transformation, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to therapy—ensuring you feel safe and supported as you grow. I believe change begins when you cultivate self-awareness, embrace authenticity, and discover your own capacity for healing.
I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Adult Education (MAEd) from East Carolina University, alongside certifications in clinical supervision and substance use counseling. My experience ranges from directing mental health programs to delivering specialized care through telehealth, demonstrating my commitment to accessible, comprehensive mental health services.
Reaching out takes courage, and I'm here to guide and support you every step of the way. Together, we will forge a new path on your healing journey, helping you build a life rich with purpose, resilience, and fulfillment.
