Starting your therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming, and I'd be honored to accompany you on your path toward well-being. Whether you are struggling with life transitions, gaining a better understanding of self, or processing trauma, I'm passionate about fostering space for folks to heal. I enjoy working with individuals from an array of backgrounds and specialize in neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+, and perinatal mental health. My therapeutic approach is non-judgmental, strengths-based, and rooted in unconditional positive regard. Our sessions will be an hour dedicated to you and your needs.
Come as you are, and I will provide a space with warmth, empathy, and a touch of humor. I understand that each individual is unique, and together we will tailor a plan that feels right for you. I currently offer virtual sessions across NC. I work with teens, adults, and couples.
Let's make therapy a comfortable and empowering space where you can be your authentic self. Therapy is your time, and you’re encouraged to show up how you feel most comfortable, whether it’s with a cozy blanket, snack, or creative project. I invite you to reach out if you have any questions, and I’d be more than happy to connect.
