I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of producing change. Our therapist/client relationship allows you to be your authentic self where you can begin to process your experiences and emotions in a safe and inclusive space. Each client brings different life experiences, beliefs, and values and therefore is the expert in their own lives. Because each person is beautifully unique, I offer an integrative counseling approach with a person-centered foundation to meet the needs of each client. 

 

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Catawba College and later earned my Master of Health Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and work with children, teens, and adults struggling with a variety of mental and behavioral health issues such as depression and anxiety.

 

I specialize in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and individualized. Together, we will gradually face the fears, uncertainties, and situations that fuel anxiety, helping you build confidence and resilience over time. Through this process, new learning can occur, allowing you to reduce OCD's hold on your life and move toward greater freedom, flexibility, and engagement in what matters most to you.

During my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my family, and well-loved pets!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you so together we can begin your therapeutic journey toward change and new life experiences.
