Currently accepting new, virtual clients in NC and CA. Welcome! I'm so glad you are making steps to get the support you deserve. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, body image, substance use, self esteem, eating disorders, or stuck in a cycle that's no longer serving you, I can offer a space to explore and create a path toward your goals.
With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I work to foster wellbeing and empowerment to my clients. I believe collaboration and therapeutic rapport are essential for change.
