“I partner with you and collaboratively structure our sessions based on your goals and insight.”

Going to therapy had a profound impact on my life and inspired my career to become a therapist. I support my clients on their journey of self-exploration through an approach that is rooted in respect, compassion and acceptance of each client, meeting them where they are at in the present moment. I know first-hand how lonely and isolating it can be when those intense emotions feel crippling and you can’t even pinpoint what is causing them. Therapy changed my life, and empowered me to better understand and take care of myself and it can do the same for you.

I partner with you and collaboratively structure our sessions based on your goals and insight. Before becoming a therapist, I spent four years at a local victim services agency educating the community about sexual violence and serving as a crisis counselor/ advocate. This work instilled in me a passion for supporting individuals who have been impacted by trauma as they work to reclaim their power.

Our bodies hold trauma and stress accumulated over our lifetimes. As a result, I utilize a combination of EMDR, narrative, solution-focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and behavioral theories to help you recover. Whether you’re recovering from PTSD, relationship trauma, dealing with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, or struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self esteem, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Fun Facts

When Not Working You Can Find Me

At different live music venues throughout the city! Last year I even convinced my friend to cancel her plans with only a hour's notice to drive to Washington D.C. to see Harry Styles for a second night in a row!

Where I Grew Up

Alabama, but weirdly don’t have a southern accent!

Favorite Place To Visit

Asheville, NC. One of my favorite things to do there is grab takeout and drive up to the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains and sit and watch the sunset.

My Hobbies

I love to read! As much as I love music I am usually listening to audiobooks whenever I am driving or doing chores.

Favorite Way To Practice Self Care

Have a sad movie marathon with a friend! I think it can be so cathartic to cry about something that isn’t real.

Kind Words From Real Patients

“No practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has.”

“I have been to many therapists for trauma work but no practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has. This practice is based on mutual trust. Your therapist will happily share bits of their own life experiences. This always makes me feel less alone in what I am experiencing and make sessions feel so comfortable. I really think this practice is something special and I am SO happy I found it when I did.”

“Therapy for Women empowers clients to see change in themselves.”

“Therapy for Women offers a fresh and modern approach to therapy which involves empowering clients to see change in themselves. They give you tools to supplement what’s talked about in session so you can go home and practice life skills. This step has been so crucial for my long-term recovery and emotional stability. The therapists genuinely care for each client. No matter why you go to Therapy for Women, these women WILL change your life. I really can’t thank them enough.”

“Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“In addition to individual therapy, I'm in a weekly group. I've created wonderful friendships here. It's also functioned as a safe space for me to experiment with things like stating my needs, getting vulnerable, setting boundaries, and receiving feedback from a non-therapist. Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“They just genuinely care about their patients.”

"I found this center when I needed it most in life. They matched me with a few therapists and first time was a charm. The center itself is very quick to act if you need anything. I see a psychiatrist within the practice as well and he too is amazing. They just genuinely care about their patients. You don’t feel like a time slot to them."

“…the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match.”

"Finding the right therapist is the hardest journey when you are already at your worst. I've tried multiple and none were working for me. But then I was told about Therapy for Women Center and the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match. We've been together coming on 2 years and she has really been amazing."

“The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease.”

"Happy to have found Therapy for Women Center. I can feel a change in my thinking and lifestyle and it is a huge difference from a year ago. So grateful! The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease."
