I'm an LCSW with 7 years of experience supporting adults through life's challenges. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, severe mental illness, and work affirmingly with queer and neurodivergent clients. Using an eclectic mix of approaches, I help clients cope with stress, uncover deeper patterns, and explore how past experiences shape their present. My ideal clients are open to self-discovery and growth, seeking clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Western Carolina University. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, supportive, and collaborative. Blending practical tools with a compassionate presence, I help clients feel understood, discover new perspectives, and build the confidence to create lasting change.
I know reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, and I believe meaningful change only happens when you feel ready and supported. I offer a safe, affirming space to explore your story, gain tools for coping, and move toward healing at your own pace. If you're ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

When addiction changes an individual’s brain chemistry, it shows in their emotions, behaviors, and bodies. These manifestations may include…
Addiction is almost like a parasite that puts itself first and risks an individual’s well-being to survive. Addiction can even risk the well-being of an individual’s loved ones. It is a serious illness. The three C’s of addiction summarizes the severity of this disease: Consequences, Cravings, and Control. Addiction takes control over the frequency and use of the substance or activity. When people experience the negative consequences of these actions, the cravings continue.
Certain factors can increase an individual’s risk of developing an addiction. A family history of addiction is a big factor. Because addiction is a disease, it is unsurprised that genetics would play a role. Circumstances can also play a role. In particular, peer pressure and emotional numbing are linked to the development of an addiction.
\Many people first use the substance or engage in the activity with friends. Over time, occasional use can escalate to addiction and compulsion. This is often true for teens, but adults are vulnerable to peer pressure as well. Additionally, when people experience severe life circumstances like abuse, abandonment, poverty, and neglect, they are searching for healing. Addiction offers many promises—lies that the addiction can heal shame, anger, guilt, fear, boredom, and loneliness. However, addiction never delivers on its promises.
