Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate
*Currently only accepting BCBS & Aetna Insurance or Self-Pay*
I am passionate about creating a compassionate, thoughtful, and open environment where you can bring your full self, in all of its beauty and complexity. It is a courageous step to seek out support through counseling, and I am honored to walk alongside you and help you work toward your goals, imagine new possibilities, and find healing and connection. My hope is that you will feel seen, heard, and empowered as we work together.
I earned an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC-Greensboro in 2024 and am licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (#A20153). My clinical experience has included work with clients across a range of life stages, from childhood to older adulthood, with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, emotional literacy, spirituality, grief and loss, and trauma. Whatever you are going through in this season, it is a privilege to walk with you as you seek healing and growth.
In my counseling, I utilize person-centered theory and a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach. I tailor my approach to each client’s needs, and my blended approach draws from Relational-Cultural Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
On a more personal note, in my spare time I love hiking, reading poetry (particularly Mary Oliver), playing pickup sports, and spending time with family and friends.
