About

What are you waiting for? It can be tricky to find yourself and align your personal growth amidst the chaos. If you're ready to embrace your future, overcome your fears, and step into the confident, empowered version of yourself you’ve always envisioned, I’m here to support you. My goal is to create a space where you feel both challenged and uplifted. Together, we'll explore your aspirations, tackle the obstacles in your way, and develop practical strategies to help you thrive, all while sharing some laughs along the way. Let’s embark on this journey together toward your best self, one step at a time. My identity as an athlete has profoundly shaped my therapeutic approach. I face life's challenges with a goal-oriented mindset and help my clients tackle obstacles with determination and clarity. My primary clinical interests include anxiety, depression, stress management, and perfectionism. Together, we'll set clear goals for lasting change. Let’s be real: taking the first step can feel a bit daunting and nerve-wracking. If you are looking for help being the best version of yourself, with support and a little extra nudge when needed, now is the perfect time to take the next step. You likely will never feel fully ready, so why wait? Let's start this exciting journey together! Specialties: I love to help clients find their identity and purpose in life. Through breaking through anxiety triggers, depressive symptoms, and stress management skills, we delve deeper into what makes you thrive rather than survive. I am known to use humor to help clients push through therapy work and hope to develop trust in the process. Credentials & Experience: I am a licensed psychologist with expertise in helping teens, adults, and couples achieve their goals. I hold licenses in North Carolina and Virginia.

"I use a variety of modalities to help you achieve your therapeutic goals. I primarily use evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe therapy is a unique experience that must be individualized, and I focus on seeing you as an individual first to then collaboratively decide the best way to help you reach your goals."
