About me:

In the years that I have been practicing therapy my passion, interest, and enthusiasm have only continued to grow with each therapeutic relationship built. When I began my undergraduate education at University of North Carolina Wilmington I learned how important understanding the workings of the mind was to understanding the world we participate in. Upon receiving my bachelors degree in psychology I began working in the community with individuals diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These experiences developed my fascination with the human condition even further and solidified my desire to work towards a therapeutically oriented degree. I quickly moved into a masters program in clinical social work with NYU. The social work framework truly encapsulated the powerful combination of individual experience as well as larger systems' impacts on one’s life. Upon receipt of my masters in social work degree I returned to North Carolina to obtain my LCSW and begin working in outpatient therapy. I have worked with children and families as well as adults of all ages and life experiences since 2016 through internships and outpatient therapy positions.

When I am not working on developing my therapeutic practice I enjoy spending time at home and surrounding myself with people I love. I particularly enjoy cooking and watching Netflix on the couch. Years of practice and learning about myself have taught me that balancing relaxation with intentional practices like exercise, and woodworking are vital to my success.
