I believe that your behaviors, choices, struggles, and symptoms make sense within the context of your story and environment, and I would be honored to walk with you on your healing journey. Rather than fighting behaviors, I seek to understand the stories that are driving you to those behaviors so that true healing can occur.

I began my career as a social worker in 2003 working with clients in a homeless shelter in Washington, DC. From there I have practiced in a variety of inpatient, outpatient and community settings with children, teens and adults.  My passion to offer hope and healing to others was born through my own story of brokenness.

My desire is to create a safe space where my clients can honor their own stories and make the connections that lead to new skills and behaviors, resulting in a more balanced and fulfilling life. I enjoy spending time with my teenage children, cooking and going on long walks with my sheltie Lottie, who would love to meet you in the office!

I received my Bachelor of Social Work with a concentration in family studies from James Madison University and my Master of Social Work from North Carolina State University with additional certification in addictions.  I am licensed in the state of North Carolina as both an LCSW (P016172) and an LCAS (27334).
