I am local to Wilmington, NC, where I completed my BA in Psychology and MSW at UNCW. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I began practicing in 2018 at a local community service organization that provides treatment for mental health and substance use.

I naturally empathize with those with similar experiences.

I see therapy as the process of learning to tap into your inner source of strength, especially when life becomes difficult or overwhelming. It can also be an incredible journey leading to personal growth and the ability to trust yourself. I get that looking inward isn't always easy, so that's where I come in - to help guide you through this process in a safe, nurturing and supportive space. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, mood disorders, adult ADHD and in working with clients to build stress management, distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills.

I also provide evaluations for early Kindergarten entry and homeschooled children.

Do you ever lie awake at night, unsure of who you are anymore? That you feel lost about who you are and where you should be in life? Your kids are getting to the age where they're less dependent on you, and realize you don't know how to define yourself outside of "mom." Or maybe you have drifted from your partner, and you're not sure if you even want to be in a relationship anymore. Perhaps the more you think about it, the more you realize you aren't so sure about your sexual orientation. Or your kid has gotten an Autism or ADHD diagnosis and the report seems strikingly similar to how you would describe yourself.

My goal as a therapist is to support you. I strive to create a safe space to process your feelings. By talking to someone neutral like myself, you have the ability to feel safe to open up and work towards your goals at a pace that works for you. It is my job to assist you in finding answers for yourself through our conversations. Client goals may include talking about your past, working through current conflicts in your daily life or making plans for your future.

Feeling broken or overwhelmed? I understand. I've done much research on addiction, codependency & adult children from dysfunctional families. It is possible to overcome barriers to intimacy and learn why we repeat the same relationship mistakes over and over again in new relationships or why we choose unhealthy people. We can change and think differently. It takes effort and accountability, but there is help and hope. Learn from your past. Don't continue to be its victim and let the past determine your future. I work with mental health and all kinds of addictions (substances and behavioral). Let's talk. Live life!
