She brings a compassionate, client-centered approach to her work, grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow.
She earned her undergraduate degree in Human Services with a minor in Criminal Justice from Elon University in 2003. Her career in mental health began in 2006, working with adults living with chronic mental illness in a day program setting.

Her therapeutic approach is strengths-based and rooted in evidence-based practices, including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT). She is dedicated to helping clients build skills, process their experiences, and thrive.
