I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina and have been practicing in the Triangle area since 2020. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development & Family Studies at Indiana University in 2016, and I completed my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University in 2019. I have also sought out specialized training in couples therapy, completing Level 1, 2, and 3 of the Gottman Method Couple’s Therapy trainings.

I love to work with adult individuals and couples aged 18+. My areas of expertise include relational/interpersonal issues, self-esteem/compassion, life transitions, anxiety, career and self-exploration, boundaries, attachment/inner child work, and value driven work. I am a LGBTQIA+ ally. I utilize a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, and believes that the success of counseling revolves around building a collaborative relationship focused on trust, openness, and mutual respect. I aspire to create a safe, non-judgmental space where each of my clients feel heard, accepted, and empowered to create personalized goals to reach their full potential. I draw therapeutic techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

In my spare time I enjoy interior decorating, reading, getting outside, exercising, and having game nights with friends and family.
