I've completed a Gender-Affirming Care Certificate Program and am in ongoing consultation on providing quality care to transgender, gender expansive folks, and LGBTQ folks.
Virtual Only- I’m licensed in North Carolina and Nevada. In our fast-paced culture, we are conditioned to believe that our issues are unique to ourselves and that we alone are responsible for our well-being. This is not only untrue, it is harmful. From the pandemic and the climate crisis to our individual experiences of adversity, we can often find ourselves struggling with isolation, anxiety, and depression. These challenges can so often negatively impact our relationships and sense of self worth, and my goal is to assist you in becoming your most authentic, liberated, and empowered self.

Relationships are hard and the struggles we experience can be complex. We don’t always understand or have the words to explain what's going on in our lives- but we know we aren't feeling how we want to. The traditional approach to therapy can be intimidating and at times, hard to understand. In my sessions, we will build our relationship with humor & compassion. I believe that everyone's struggles are unique. I'm here to help guide you to discover the best ways to heal in your situation. I am passionate in helping couples, families, and individuals heal through reframing and normalizing your conflicts while creating new experiences.

Are you going through a life change or transition and feel lost? Or maybe you just don't feel like yourself right now? Reaching out for help can be difficult, and in my experience, no human being can navigate these seasons of life alone. I am passionate about working with teenagers (ages 12+), young adults, and adults who are going through significant life changes, struggling with high-functioning anxiety (look fine on the outside but inside are exhausted and anxious), and those who would like to cultivate a more evolved version of themselves.

Adolescence and young adulthood are unique and formative seasons of life, often filled with rapid change, self-discovery, and new responsibilities. These stages come with distinct emotional, social and developmental challenges, all of which deserve understanding and thoughtful support. I work closely not only with clients, but also with parents who want to better understand and support their children and teens. I provide education around development and help families identify and shift patterns that may be contributing to stress or disconnection. My goal is to foster healthy communication and supportive dynamics.

In my work, I have experience with anxiety, trauma, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related experiences such as intrusive thoughts, rejection sensitive dysphoria, and difficulties with emotional regulation.
