You’re holding everything together nicely on the outside - work, school, family, everyday tasks - but on the inside, you feel like you could break down at any moment. Your greatest fear is having everyone see how vulnerable you are, and even though you work hard at being perfect, you never measure up to your own standards. Have you ever wondered if there’s another way?

Or maybe you feel consumed by thoughts that just won’t stop racing. Do you ever lie awake at night replaying everything you did wrong that day? Do you dread social situations because you just know everyone is staring at you? Have you wondered if it will ever stop?

If so, you’re in the right place and I’m here to tell you that there is hope, and you just took the first step toward finding it.

I work with young adult and adult women struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, disordered eating and body image, OCD, and grief. And if you’ve ever wondered if you have anxiety or OCD, I’ll tell you that sometimes it’s hard to tell because they can seem so similar and overlap often! But we can figure it out together.

I also love to approach counseling through a Biblical perspective for those who desire to integrate faith into the counseling process. I want to help you live a life with less suffering but also full of deep faith and joyful living.

For a few more details on me, I graduated with my BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University. I work from Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and/or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) treatment modalities while remaining flexible to adapt to each individual’s unique needs. I received additional training in CBT and DBT techniques and completed training in OCD treatment through Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy. I also completed coursework through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). When working with disordered eating issues, I specialize particularly in anorexia, but also bulimia, orthorexia, and binge eating disorder.

I can’t wait to hear from you, and no matter how you found yourself here or how long you’ll be here, I’m ready to dive in with you. It would be my privilege to be a small part of your story.
