I am a daughter of the Appalachians, born and reared in the mountains of Western North Carolina. My parents were "salt of the earth" working class people. The first in my family to attend college, I began my professional life as a teacher. I went on to earn two master's degree-- a Master of Divinity and a Master of Social Work.

Over my decades of service, I have worked in public schools, community college, non-profits, community mental health, and several levels of eating disorder treatment before settling into private practice over a decade ago.

Being a therapist is my great privilege. My respect for and belief in each client shows up in the nurturing, protected space I provide, the humility and curiosity I bring to each session, and the authenticity and compassion that underpins my work.

When not in the therapy room, you may find me watching favorite TV shows over and over with my husband, finding dogs to pet, kayaking, contra dancing, camping, or visiting our beloved ( now thriving) daughter and son-in-law in Charleston, SC.

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.

Happy clients
