I have been practicing as a therapist for adults since 2012. My experience grew out of the treatment of adults with dual diagnoses, and rooted itself firmly in an understanding of how our bodies retain memory. My approach is deeply relational, collaborative, and attachment-based. I believe the therapeutic relationship is paramount to building secure attachment and enhancing our relationships with ourselves and others. Over the years, I have also worked with the incarcerated and folks under legal supervision—if this has been a part of your past experience, I welcome this process with you. For several years, I served as the Associate Clinical Director of one of the country's leading residential treatment facilities. This opportunity sharpened my skill set in trauma-informed and experiential modalities that continue to shape my approach today.

I received a Master's degree in Social Work in 2012 from SUNY Albany in New York State. I am currently licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).  I have received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS),  and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I continue to pursue advanced education opportunities specific to both treatment interventions and professional development.
