Do you often feel overwhelmed by the world we currently live in? Do you have trouble regulating your emotions, feeling motivated, or feel "stuck" because of things that have happened to you in the past? I am trained in DBT and EMDR and work with individuals who are struggling with mood disorders, life transitions, and past trauma. I would love the opportunity to work alongside you on your healing journey. I want to give you the safe space needed to process what's going on and provide skills to help you become more adaptive.

Welcome! The search for a therapist can bring about a mixture of emotions. You may feel overwhelmed and nervous not knowing what to expect, or you may feel eager to begin. Either way, I'm glad you're here. I work with individuals 18 and older who may be struggling with life transitions, anxious thought patterns, or self-criticism. Examples of presenting issues include, but are not limited to: struggles to manage a work/life balance, changes in roles and expectations, pivoting from college to adulthood, or navigating life obstacles while managing realistic expectations. I’ve completed training through

Many people can be too hard and not kind enough to themselves. Life is difficult enough, and not being on their own side through their struggles makes it even more so. Whether you’re new to therapy or have some experience with it, starting with a new therapist can be overwhelming. I invite you to a warm, inviting space where you are able to show your full self. I tend to use a holistic and integrative approach. Your sessions are your time and I will meet you where you’re at while providing a therapist viewpoint.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Matthews, NC. I provide individual therapy for teens and adults that primarily utilizes the modalities of DBT and EMDR. I employ a person centered approach to ensure the client is getting what they need from therapy. I work with individuals who have a history of trauma that has led them to experience difficulty being present in the moment, managing stressful situations, regulating emotions, and communicating effectively. Additionally, I have a background in community mental health and enjoy treating individuals with psychosis.

She graduated from Miami University with a BA in psychology and completed her masters degree in community counseling at Youngstown State University.

Have you been holding onto a burden since you were a child or a young adult? Are you ready to grow into the person you want to be and utilize the skills needed to cope with life’s difficulties? Do you want a counselor to see you for who you really are and give you a safe space to work through any concerns you bring to counseling? As a genderfluid counselor, I can help you onto the path to true healing whether that be from PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-related concerns, dissociation, LGBTQIA+ issues, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, etc.

Often, people experience stress and anxiety if they believe they do not live up to others' expectations of them. It can feel extremely isolating if you think you are outside of the "normal". I believe that "normal" is subjective, and that there is no standard "normal". I enjoy working with clients who are wanting to embrace the parts of themselves that they've been conditioned to keep private. I see strength in vulnerability. I think there is so much to be said for a person who is able to acknowledge the pain that they've been through. Without doing so, it can be difficult to learn, heal, and grow.

Life in general, can be challenging. I believe in the healing power of telling your story in a judgement-free environment where you feel safe. Research consistently shows it is the quality of the therapeutic relationship, more than any other factor including the method of therapy, predicting the clients’ ability to use therapy to help themselves and make positive life changes. Therapy does not always solve the problems brought to it, but the best chance for success is when there is a strong therapeutic relationship. To me, the critical foundation of our counseling relationship is a partnership based on mutual respect and honesty.

My clinical work has included helping those suffering from a broad range of presentations and trauma related disorders.

I have experience working with individuals who struggle with both over controlled and under controlled emotional states and trauma related disorders.
