In Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle communities, many women carry the weight of demanding careers, family responsibilities, and the quiet pull of anxiety, depression, or life transitions. My passion is supporting women ages 18 and older who are navigating challenges such as job loss, grief and bereavement, divorce or separation, major career changes, relocations, academic stress, marriage, family discord, self-esteem, and self-love concerns. I aim to create a calm, grounded space where you can slow down, breathe, and make sense of where you are and where you want to go next.

 My approach to therapy is conversational, collaborative, and deeply person-centered. You will be heard and not rushed as we explore both your long-term hopes and the day-to-day stressors that feel heavy, whether it’s a demanding role in healthcare, the pressure of working in RTP, or the emotional load of caregiving. Together, we will identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and develop practical, realistic steps you can begin using between sessions.

Clinically, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in a way that is flexible and tailored to you. This might look like reframing unhelpful thoughts after a difficult day, gaining clarity around your motivation to set boundaries, or learning coping strategies that bring you closer to the life you envision. You set the priorities, and I provide structure, support, and tools to help you move forward at a pace that feels right.

Social Work (BSW) & Master of Social Work (MSW). She is passionate about helping you navigate the transitions and challenges of life.

When I’m not in therapist mode, I’m... spending time with my family, traveling, and savoring quiet moments on the patio with a cup of coffee. These simple joys keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of balance and connection, values I bring into my work with clients.
