About My Clients
Have you ever wished you could just shut your brain off? Lying awake at night, replaying conversations or mistakes, anticipating what’s coming tomorrow. You second-guess and double-check, pushing yourself only to feel like you never quite measure up. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of overthinking and self-doubt. Therapy can help you turn down the mental noise and tune into your inner wisdom. We’ll meet your mind with curiosity and compassion so you can focus on what truly matters to you.
My Background and Approach
I received my master’s in social work from NC State University in 2012. I began my career in small, scrappy nonprofits supporting children and families. It was important, meaningful work but the constant pressure to “do more with less” was a recipe for burnout. I found my passion helping coworkers (and myself) find balance so we could be effective and engaged in our jobs while living full, vibrant lives off the clock. In 2023, I moved into therapeutic work full-time. In my practice, I see folks navigating anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and burnout. Many clients believe that the therapist has all the answers. I can offer insights and tools from my training, but you’re the expert on your life. We work collaboratively to break your goals into manageable steps guided by your values. My role is to help you explore the places that feel stuck with curiosity and compassion. As you learn to sit with discomfort instead of fighting or fixing, you’ll create space to choose how you respond.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone should have access to therapy. That’s why I reserve 25% of my sessions for sliding scale clients. I’m an ally to the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, and I continue to learn and reflect so that I can continue to grow. I’m body positive and neurodivergent-affirming. I’m left-leaning and progressive, but I won’t judge you if you’re not. I was raised Southern Baptist and, while I no longer consider myself religious, faith in a higher power is still meaningful to me. Being outside under trees or by water is my happy place. Nature is a powerful support in my own inner work, which is why I love bringing it into sessions. At home, I love getting my hands dirty, whether it’s gardening, getting artsy, or rehabbing a thrifted treasure. I’m married. I love kids but don’t plan to have any. My favorite way to start the day (after my requisite two cups of coffee) is watching my rescue pup Turbo hit 50 mph at the dog park. And I can’t wait to meet you.
