Licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah, Maine, and Virginia

Are you seeking growth, clarity, or change in your life? Whether you're facing anxiety, life transitions, relationship struggles, chronic stress, or substance use concerns, you don’t have to do it alone.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) with over 13 years of experience supporting adults, including veterans, military families, healthcare workers, therapists, students, and neurodivergent clients.

My style is direct, relational, and challenging. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel seen, supported, and respectfully pushed toward growth. I also believe in the mind, body, and spirit connection, and recognize that traditional talk therapy often overlooks one or more of these essential parts of healing.

I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel seen, supported, and respectfully pushed toward growth. Relational therapy means we explore how your relationships—past and present—shape how you view yourself, others, and your connection patterns. Together, we develop tools and insight to move you toward a more empowered and aligned life.

I specialize in anxiety, neurodivergence, grief and loss, burnout, identity development, religious trauma, and recovery. I offer a neurodivergent affirming approach and use Polyvagal Theory to support nervous system awareness and emotional regulation.

My work is guided by the TIDES approach:

• T – Transformation: Turning pain into powerful growth

• I – Insight: Gaining clarity about patterns and strengths

• D – Direction: Charting a purposeful course forward

• E – Empowerment: Building confidence and autonomy

• S – Support: Creating a safe, affirming therapeutic space

I draw from evidence based practices including CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, Solution Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based tools. Sessions are practical, collaborative, and tailored to your goals.
