Life isn’t always easy!
Maybe you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Perhaps you’re facing a major transition—starting college, navigating motherhood, or adjusting to military life—and you feel like you should be handling it better. The truth is, you don’t have to go through this alone. Therapy is a space where you can exhale, reflect, and start making real, lasting changes.
How I can Help
I work with clients experiencing:
Anxiety & Overthinking – Constant worry, racing thoughts, or feeling like you can never fully relax.
Depression & Low Motivation – Struggling to find joy in things you once loved, feeling disconnected, or stuck in self-doubt.
Life Transitions & Identity Challenges – Navigating big changes like moving, starting a new job, becoming a parent, or leaving the military.
Trauma & Past Wounds – Healing from difficult life experiences that still impact you today.
Postpartum & Motherhood Stress – Adjusting to life as a new mom, dealing with guilt, or feeling lost in the chaos of parenting.
Military & Veteran Challenges – Supporting service members, veterans, and their families in managing deployments, transitions, and emotional resilience.
My Approach & Therapy Modalities
Because everyone comes to therapy with different life experiences, I take the time to get to know you and make sure you feel comfortable to openly share those very private thoughts, emotions and memories. The therapy journey isn’t the same for everyone, but by laying a strong foundation we can build those stepping stones to help you achieve your goals.
No matter what type of therapy we use, my core goal is to assist you in building positive coping tools and self-care methods while also addressing your negative coping mechanisms that you might not even be aware of.
I integrate evidence-based techniques, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helping you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns.
- Mindfulness & Stress Reduction – Teaching you ways to stay present, manage anxiety, and build self-awareness.
- Person-Centered Therapy – Creating a space where you lead the conversation in a non-judgmental, supportive environment.
- Strengths-Based Therapy – Focusing on what’s already working in your life and helping you build on those strengths.
- Trauma-Informed Care – Ensuring that your past experiences are acknowledged and respected as we work together toward healing.
Why Work With Me?
I understand what it’s like to feel stretched too thin, to want to be everything for everyone but feel like you’re running on empty. My goal is to help you:
✅ Set boundaries without guilt
✅ Build confidence in yourself and your decisions
✅ Heal from past experiences that still weigh you down
✅ Find balance between work, relationships, and self-care
✅ Stop feeling like you have to “just deal with it” on your own
My Professional Background
I completed my undergraduate degree at Pennsylvania State University in 2015 and then went on to obtain my Masters of Social Work degree from Temple University in 2017. From there, I have worked in a wide range of settings from community based mental health, psychiatric hospitals, and with children and their families.
About Me
I am originally from southeast Pennsylvania and moved to North Carolina with my husband in 2019. I love having access to both the ocean and the mountains!
Some interesting tidbits about me…I co-founded a women’s online boutique in 2021. I also enjoy cooking for my family and spending time with them. I love being outside, exploring the outdoors and traveling.
