I’ve always been curious about people — why we act the way we do, how we get through hard things, and how we make sense of it all.

I started my career in mental health as a recreation therapist after earning my BA from UNCW. I worked in inpatient hospitals like UNC’s Neuroscience Hospital, where I saw just how vital connection and coping skills are for all of us.

Later, I worked in a prison near San Francisco (including on death row) and that gave me a whole new perspective on resilience, boundaries, and the human capacity for change.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from UCF and trained in grief counseling, hospice care, and suicide prevention. Over the years, I’ve sat with people during some of the hardest chapters of their lives.

Now, in private practice, I bring that same presence, grounding, and clinical skill to our sessions.

EMDR has become one of the most powerful tools in my work.
