I believe as human beings we are wired to heal. As a therapist, my goal is to aid my clients’ self-healing process. The decision to begin Psychotherapy can be anxiety producing in and of itself. I aim to create a supportive therapeutic environment in which I actively address my clients’ needs.

I have a special interest in working with young adults who have survived abuse and/or trauma, who struggle with anxiety, depression and/or relationship issues. I integrate a variety of methods into my therapy practice including; eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based strategies. Collaboratively, my clients and I work on developing healthier thoughts, relationships, and behaviors.

I believe that you are so much more than your body. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating counselor and work from a Health at Every Size approach. We live in a world where we are inundated with mixed messages about diet and how our bodies are supposed to look. This is even more complicated for clients with an existing trauma history, depression, and anxiety. My goal is to help you move closer to self-compassion and acceptance in order to live your most authentic life.

I earned both my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Masters of Science in Social Work from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. My licensure (Tennessee Department of Health: Board of Social Workers, Licensed Clinical Social Worker #6363 and Department of State Pennsylvania: Board of Social Workers #CW020974) was achieved through several years of post graduate work and supervision in settings such as community mental health and crisis services.

I am human, I am real, and I love that my job allows me to connect to other, real humans. When I’m not working, you can find me spending time with my partner and our dog, Louie; reading; eating at a new restaurant; and traveling. I love finding new ways to move my body in a fun and enjoyable ways. I am so excited to work with you, wherever you are in your life journey!
