Hi! I am a LCSW and LCAS. I have been practicing since 2007. I am from the very first cohort of social workers who graduated from UNCW. I started out working in an inpatient hospital setting, moved into intensive in home services and helped open a local school based health center where I had the privilege of working alongside a nutritionist and nurse practitioner. I believe in an integrated approach for treatment. I have been in private practice since 2017. I work primarily with college aged individuals but my history is working with individuals and women who are trying to navigate life stressors, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and self injury as well as healing from trauma. I am EMDR certified and use an eclectic approach of strengths based solution focused therapy, IFS, CBT and DBT as I don't believe one size fits all. I am a "put into action" therapist and I love empowering my clients to reach their goals and cultivate a life of health and wellness through mind, body and spirit.
