As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe in practical and person-centered therapy, meaning you are in charge of the process while I guide and support you. I specialize in using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help manage big emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical work challenges us to understand seemingly opposing thoughts and feelings. In DBT, we focus on building skills in 4 areas: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotional Regulation, and Distress Tolerance to help achieve our goals.

You’ve known easier times, or you know they’re out there and you’re looking for them. You're taking action to feel better in the face of challenge and that’s a big deal. You deserve the support of someone familiar with challenging times. The empathy and proactive engagement you'll come to expect in your work with me, come from a place of understanding the urgency for resolution that accompanies pain. You have the capacity to learn and grow in the ways necessary to find relief, peace of mind, connection with others, and a sense of competence in the activities that are important to you.

Continuing the legacy of grandmothers before me, I am a balabusta: creating home in body, mind, spirit, and community. I hold space as a witness, companion, and accomplice through the transition and growth with radical presence, attunement, and care. Interdependence, loving accountability, and liberatory embodiment are my guideposts. I graduated with Masters in Social Work from UNC Chapel Hill in 2022 and with my undergraduate degree from UNC Asheville in 2015. My career has encapsulated birth and death work, childcare, youth work, public health education, sex + pleasure education, disability justice, and community organizing.

I work well with clients who have previously found therapy to be lacking. While my clients typically find sessions enjoyable, I also push for each person with whom I work to utilize learned skills throughout the week! Life changes require effort but I also understand that it's hard to make significant changes when every moment feels like slogging through molasses. I tend to be more involved as a therapist than some, which is a choice born out of my own life experiences. Sometimes people don't have a fully-developed support system to help support them as they begin to make healthier choices. If that's the case for you, get in touch.

Many people who decide to come to therapy describe a desire to feel happier and more satisfied with one or more areas of life. We all have times in our lives when we know we need to make a change, but taking the steps by yourself can feel overwhelming. Therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and to empower yourself to grow and make necessary shifts in order to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. Maybe it feels like things have fallen off the rails, or maybe you're feeling a little stuck, or maybe it's somewhere in between...we'll meet you where you are, and take it from there!

Now accepting Medicare. Stressed-out? Feeling lost? Struggling to get through your day? Imagine a life without overwhelming anxiety, depression or self doubt, but instead you can feel empowered, self assured and even just relaxed despite all of life's stressors. Therapy can help you to achieve that self assurance, sense of peace and increased coping ability. I believe that everyone is unique and has their own unique journey; therefore, therapy should be person-centered and non-judgmental.

I believe that human connection is the most powerful force in our lives, and that it can be the source of much of our strength as well as much of our pain. The quality of the psychotherapeutic relationship forms the foundation for all growth and healing done within this context. The simple addition of a new, invested relationship to one's life can help provide room to move forward. Once this foundation is in place, amazing progress can be made, whether this is conceptualized as a return to a more fulfilling moment in life, or as more fully achieving one's potential.
