I am a Limited License Mental Health Counselor supervised by Kency Legg, LMHC. I obtained Master's in Mental Health Counseling from University of North Carolina. I am passionate about using somatic experiencing, psychobiology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology to help her clients feel safe enough in their bodies to be able to integrate the lessons they learn in session as well as allow them to reconnect with the intuition and strengths that have always existed inside of them.
I specialize in working with heightened, complex trauma and dissociation, including presentations like Dissociative Identity disorder (DID), otherwise Specified Dissociative disorder (OSDD), Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD/C-PTSD), Borderline Personality disorder (BPD), and survivors of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV).
I strive to create a warm space to address such challenges, support clients’ emotional wellbeing, and develop coping strategies to improve their daily struggles and quality of life. Please reach out today to set up your first appointment!
