B.A in Psychology from The Citadel: The Military College of South Carolina, M.S in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella. In a PhD program for Clinical Psychology at Walden. I work with ages 5 and up. I treat a variety of mental health disorders including Eating Disorders, BiPolar Disorder, Schizoeffective, Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, and others. I have worked in Community Mental Health and served the unhoused population, veterans, teenagers, adults, and the elderly. I used a Person Centered approach and a variety of modalities such as CBT, DBT, and REBT. In my free time I like to make comics, read, play video games, spend time with my pets, and paint.

My path to becoming a therapist started long before graduate school. As a teenager, I struggled with anxiety and depression and learned firsthand how powerful it can be to have someone simply listen and help make sense of what feels impossible. That experience shaped my belief that no one is ever too far gone—there is always hope and always another day. Helping others see that truth is the most fulfilling part of my work. What I love most about working with my clients is witnessing people reconnect with their strength—often at moments when they feel the most broken or unsure of themselves. I value the trust clients place in me and feel honored to walk alongside them as they process, heal, and grow. Seeing small shifts turn into meaningful change is incredibly rewarding. I believe healing is not about “fixing” what’s wrong, but about understanding yourself more deeply and learning how to move forward with compassion and intention. Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in safety, connection, and curiosity. Growth happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to make changes at their own pace. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and DBT-informed skills. But above all, I believe in the power of authentic connection and trust between therapist and client. My role is to walk alongside you—not ahead of you—helping you build insight, skills, and confidence to create meaningful change. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, our three cats, and my family. I find joy in traveling, especially with my husband, sharing coffee with friends, and taking mini trips with my mom and sister.
