I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing significant life transitions. Whether it be becoming a parent, ending or beginning an intimate relationship, facing grief, working with chronic, long-term illness or outgrowing particular patterns of behavior. I also specialize in working with those raised in dysfunctional and/or alcoholic families. 

I have worked in the mental health field since 2008 and feel tremendously fortunate to have worked with many resilient, creative and unique adults, teenagers and children.  I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Wheaton College in Massachusetts and further earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 2016 from Naropa University’s three-year Contemplative Psychotherapy program in Boulder, Colorado. I have specific training in Modern Psychoanalysis, a relational healing approach that aims to digest and sort through past relational trauma in the container of our therapeutic relationship. Further, I am a certified Mindfulness Instructor, a trained birth and postpartum Doula as well as a certified yoga teacher. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina (#13940).
