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.

Life coaching with our therapists in Chapel Hill, NC is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Chapel Hill therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
Life coaches and high school football coaches may not be so different. In both settings, coaches need to know their team’s and clients’ weaknesses and strengths. Coaches help their teams and clients formulate a game plan: a way to fortify those weaknesses and capitalize on those strengths. Coaches can read a context and guide their teams or clients on the next steps. Whether they are football coaches or life coaches, success is often supported by a good coach.

The end result of goal-setting and life coaching may be a dramatic achievement, but the daily reality is often mundane. Long-term success often requires short-term sacrifice. Seth Godin puts in this way, “Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.” How can goals change people? When people set goals and they have the support of a life coach to achieve those goals, a few key things may happen…
One of the benefits of working with a life coach is that clients can explore any area of their lives where they need mentoring, guiding, and support. Goals are often associated with professional advancement, but they can truly be made for any aspect of life. For example, people often set goals for their…
