No matter where we’ve been, everybody longs to feel heard and understood. When you’re going through a difficult time, being able to process your emotions with someone is incredibly healing. I look forward to walking alongside you in this journey and hearing about your experience. I practice therapy from an open, affirming perspective that places you at the center. As you come to my office, I hope you’ll find a safe, creative space to bring your whole self.
At Care Counseling, I provide individual therapy to female, male, and non-binary clients from age 6 and up. I have a special interest in working with the following groups: artists, couples, performers, the LGBTQIA+ community, health care providers, people who have experienced homelessness, and individuals coping with chronic illness.
I graduated from the University of St. Thomas with my Mater’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, I am currently under supervision while working towards clinical licensure. My therapy is informed by CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, DBT, and Affirmative Therapy. I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina and still love hiking. When I am not practicing therapy, I can be found trying delicious new foods or playing with my lovable, misbehaving dog. I’m looking forward to hearing your story over a cup of tea or coffee in my office soon.
