For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to helping others make sense of their pain and reclaim their power. My journey as a psychotherapist began after graduating from Clemson University in 2001 with a degree in Psychology. I started my career at a women’s center in Atlanta, where I witnessed firsthand the resilience of women navigating trauma, self-doubt, and emotional wounds. I then spent years advocating for children in foster care before earning my Master’s in Professional Counseling from Argosy University in 2006 and opening my first private practice.

In 2011, I completed my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology, fueled by a passion not only for working directly with clients but also for teaching and mentoring others in the field. Over the years, I’ve worked in crisis response, inpatient hospital settings, community mental health, and with military families—each experience deepening my commitment to helping individuals and couples heal.

Today, I specialize in working with women who feel like something is “off” but don’t quite have the words to explain it—women who have survived childhood emotional neglect, toxic relationships, caregiver burnout, or the emotional toll of chronic illness. But my work doesn’t stop there. As a couples therapist, I help partners break free from painful cycles of disconnection, resentment, and miscommunication. I’ve seen firsthand how unresolved wounds from the past can surface in our most intimate relationships, and I use evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) to help couples rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and rediscover joy in their partnership.

I believe healing—whether individual or relational—is a deeply personal, transformative process. My clients are not just patients; they are my greatest teachers, reminding me daily of the power of resilience and growth. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with yourself or repair the bond with your partner, I’m here to help you take that next step toward lasting change.
