I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that one of the most important parts of therapy is the relationship you build with your therapist. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Appalachian State University and my Master of Social Work from Louisiana State University. I have worked in the mental health field since 2016, beginning my career with at-risk youth before transitioning into outpatient and private practice therapy. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, demographics, and life experiences.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, relationship-based, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I place a strong emphasis on the therapeutic alliance and work to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, and comfortable showing up as themselves. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based approaches, and other evidence-based interventions while tailoring therapy to the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a particular approach.

I enjoy working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship and attachment concerns, self-esteem, and major life transitions. My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy can hold space for vulnerability and difficult conversations while also making room for humor, connection, and being human. Above all, my goal is to build a trusting relationship where clients feel supported in better understanding themselves, recognizing their strengths, and creating meaningful change in their lives.
