A therapist who believes in the power of genuine connection, warm spaces, and meeting you exactly where you are.
For years, I worked in the nonprofit world — the kind of work that fills your heart but slowly empties your tank. I loved helping people, but I was running on fumes. I wasn't sleeping. I'd lost touch with the things that made me feel like me.
It was my own therapist who helped me see what was really going on. For the first time, someone sat with me without trying to fix anything. She just listened. That experience changed everything — not just how I felt, but how I understood what healing actually looks like.
Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been.
I went back to school at Appalachian State, earned my master's in counseling psychology, and built a practice rooted in the one thing I knew mattered most: the relationship. Not techniques. Not frameworks. The simple, powerful act of being truly seen by another person.
Today, I work with people who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, grief, and the quiet struggle of not feeling good enough. My office in Asheville feels more like a living room than a clinic — and that's very much on purpose.

I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the most important part of therapy. Before any technique or framework, there's trust, warmth, and genuine care.
There's no rush. Some weeks we dig deep. Some weeks we catch our breath. Both are valid, and both are progress.
You're not just your anxiety or your grief. You're a whole person with a rich, complex life — and that's how I'll always treat you.
When I'm not in session, you'll find me hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway with my golden retriever Biscuit, browsing the farmers market in downtown Asheville, or getting my hands dirty at the pottery wheel. I believe therapists should practice what we teach — rest, curiosity, and a little joy every day.
I offer a free 15-minute phone call so we can get to know each other. No pressure, no commitment — just a conversation.
