I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating codependency, trauma, relational conflict, and identity exploration. Many of my clients struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling overly responsible for others’ emotions. Together, we work to untangle these patterns, fostering a sense of self-trust, autonomy, and healthy relationships. I also support LGBTQIA+ individuals (14+ y/o) facing identity-related stress, family dynamics, and societal pressures. As a queer person in the South, I know how vital affirming spaces are, and I strive to provide one where you can explore your authentic self.

I have sat with couples who share everything except how they really feel, individuals carrying weight they have never spoken out loud, veterans who have seen things that have no words, and therapists or helpers who give everything to others and have nothing left for themselves. What I know from all of it is that most people searching for couples therapy, marriage counseling, or individual therapy do not need to be fixed. They need someone who genuinely understands what they are carrying and knows the way through. That is what brought me to this work and what keeps me here.

The joy of therapy lies in tailoring my approach to fully leverage the unique strengths and skills of each individual client. I thoroughly enjoy cultivating an atmosphere of safety, encouragement, and hope for those whom I have the opportunity to serve. I endeavor to invite clients into a therapeutic relationship that enhances their ability to develop insight that leads to action.

I truly believe that each client is the absolute expert on themselves and strive always to create space for clients to feel, be, and show up as their authentic selves. My approach is relational, casual, sex positive, and gender affirming. I take a systems approach to appreciating all the different factors that make up you and your unique experiences in the world. I specialize in complex trauma, and love to work with folks within the LGBTQIA2S+ community, folks struggling to navigate overwhelming emotions, folks struggling with boundary setting, and folks looking to explore and truly find love and compassion for themselves.

Hey there! I’m so glad you’re here. Asking for help is one of the strongest - and scariest - things a person can do. I would love to provide a comfortable and safe space for you to explore the things you want to change. Together we can think about pieces of your life that are sticky, that take up too much space. I’m here to be an unbiased sounding board, a shoulder to lean on, and someone who can call you out when you need it (we all need that sometimes). I work from a holistic, trauma-informed approach grounded in authenticity and connection that is tailored to each individual person’s needs.

You're tired. Maybe you’re managing anxiety that won’t quiet down, or you’re realizing things from your past you’ve never fully unpacked and are still shaping how you move through your days. Maybe you’re in the middle of a big life change and don’t feel like yourself. Or you’re an adult with ADHD who’s spent years wondering why things that seem easy for everyone else take everything you have. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma (including CPTSD/PTSD), relationship issues, life transitions, and ADHD. My approach is warm and collaborative.

I work with adult individuals and couples who are high-functioning but emotionally overwhelmed. Many are high achievers, codependent, or emotionally immature, and find themselves stuck in anxiety-driven or unbalanced relationship patterns. They suppress needs, manage others’ emotions, and say "I'm fine"—until resentment, anger, or shutdown takes over. My approach is past-aware, present-focused, and skill-based. Together, we interrupt patterns, regulate the nervous system, and turn insight into real-life change—especially in relationships. If your brain feels loud and tired of spiraling, snapping, or overgiving, this work is for you!

You were always the high-achieving "good girl" — the one no one had to worry about. Then you became a mother, and everything felt different:
• Snapping, then spiraling—worried you're "ruining" your kids
• Feeling everything but relaxed when finally having a moment to "rest"
• Not trusting anyone to do the planning or execution as well as you
• Resenting the load, your partner, the dog, and the systems that put it all on you
• Feeling touched-out and overstimulated—and it's affecting your marriage, not just your patience
• Feeling less capable
• Feeling disillusioned and ashamed for not enjoying the life you've always dreamed of

You’re used to being the one who holds it all together. You’re driven, high-performing, and from the outside, your life looks solid. But internally, it’s a different story—you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like you can’t ever fully relax. Slowing down feels uncomfortable, and despite everything you’ve achieved, it never quite feels like enough.
You might be relying on things like overworking, alcohol, food, or staying constantly busy just to get through the day. Maybe you’ve noticed patterns that are starting to concern you—but it’s hard to imagine doing life any differently.

At the core of everything I do in therapy is the belief that true healing happens through empowerment and love, not fear. Therapy encompasses a bit of art, science, intuition, and loving kindness. What works in therapy is a real person connecting to a real person and I believe the best therapists are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see. My approach is based on a model of healing and empowerment to help you reconnect with that whole, thoughtful, creative, fearless human being you are and to trust your inner wisdom.

What would it feel like to actually enjoy your life, not just get through it? That's what I want to help you access — your vitality, your creativity, your sense of self and appetite for life.
Before any modality, I prioritize empathy and genuinely building relationships with my clients, because healing happens in the context of feeling safe and truly met.
I work with highly sensitive individuals, perfectionists and people-pleasers in recovery, and adults navigating complex and developmental trauma and religious wounding — helping people rebuild self-worth and a sense of self they can trust.

Wow! There are a LOT of therapists, right? Unless the criteria were super narrow, this list is likely a little overwhelming—a lot of acronyms, a lot of jargon and friendly smiles; maybe fewer cardigans than expected. It’s a lot to consider. For many of us, scrolling through lists like this can feel like running in quicksand. And if you tend to be hard on yourself, it's all the more difficult. Whether you're navigating major life shifts, struggling but still trying to pin down why, or just at a loss and unsure of where/how to start, stick with it. It's OK to take your time. There are lots of people on here who can help.
