About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina that provides therapy online to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize working clients navigating depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, mood and personality disorders, emotional regulation challenges, abandonment and attachment concerns, and through major life transitions.
I aim to tailor treatment to your unique needs while fostering a supportive, collaborative, and safe environment where you can feel free to be your authentic self. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. Using an eclectic, evidence-based approach grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and attachment-based interventions
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy reading, exploring creative crafts, and spending quality time with my family.
