I attended East Carolina University for both my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling. Since graduating over 5 years ago, I have worked primarily with adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings addressing symptoms of substance use, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I take on a holistic and compassionate approach in my counseling style, integrating techniques from a few modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. I’m a trauma informed therapist with a focus on treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, codependency, relationship/family conflicts, and addiction.

My husband and I moved to Asheville, NC in 2019 with our cat, Izzy. I grew up majority of my life in Apex, NC, with my early years living in Michigan. I feel that I was always meant to be a therapist because I truly enjoy helping people live a fulfilling life, and connecting with people on a basic human level.

Outside of work, I like to spend my time hiking, kayaking, reading, gardening, cooking a delicious meal, rewatching The Office or Friends for the millionth time, and spending time with loved ones!
