“I work with patients who are looking for a goal-oriented clinician that is dedicated to helping them to not just feel better, but GET better. I specialize in working with those who cope by hurting themselves and/or are thinking of ending their lives. Many who seek me out frequently can't enjoy the good times because they're just waiting for the next bad thing to happen, or think that they are completely worthless, or are just looking to figure out how to find meaning in their lives.”

“I work with high-achieving adults—especially AAPI, mixed-race, and multicultural individuals—who are exhausted from holding everything together for everyone else. You might be functioning well on the outside while running on empty inside. You've internalized high expectations, taken on caretaking roles in your family or community, and struggled to set boundaries without guilt. You may be dealing with anxiety that doesn't turn off, burnout that goes deeper than needing a vacation, or a sense of not quite belonging. You might also feel caught between cultural worlds, unsure where you fit. If you're ready to stop shrinking, start understanding your patterns, and feel at home in your own life again, you are welcome here.”

“I work with individuals whose lives have been shaped by trauma—those who are ready to understand their patterns, reclaim their voice, and move beyond the experiences that once defined them. As a trauma‑specialized therapist with certifications in several trauma‑focused modalities, I use structured, research‑supported approaches to help clients process their stories and rebuild internal safety. My goal is to help clients strengthen their nervous system, expand their capacity for emotional regulation, and step into a more empowered way of living.”

“You might feel stuck questioning your identity, struggling in relationships, or carrying anxiety and self-doubt that won’t quiet down. Maybe you’re moving through a big life change or just tired of feeling like you have to hide parts of yourself to be accepted. My clients often want clarity, relief, and a more honest connection to themselves and others. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more aligned with the person you want to be—grounded, capable, and true to yourself.”

“If you feel confused by your reactions in relationships, I can help. You may worry you’re “too clingy,” feel emotionally preoccupied, or change yourself to avoid losing connection. Or you may pull away when things get close, get the sudden “ick,” feel bored or ambivalent, or question the relationship when your partner shows emotion. Many clients I work with are thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand their patterns but still feel caught in them. I also work with adults impacted by trauma, including experiences that continue to show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment. If your nervous system feels stuck in old survival responses, therapy can help you make sense of these patterns and begin relating to yourself and others in a steadier, more secure way.”

“I am especially good at working with people who have tried therapy and had bad experiences but are still looking for help. I'm also particularly good at helping people who over-intellectualize their emotions. Many of my clients are highly self-aware people who understand their patterns but feel stuck anyway. If you're good at explaining your problems but bad at actually changing them, I can help you break the spiral and move forward.”

“I work with couples who are desiring to strengthen their relationship and also who may have some stuck patterns that feel discouraging to them. I also work with adult individuals who find that despite their best efforts, they feel like they can't get to a place of peace and contentment in their relationships or even within themselves. They find themselves feeling like they are spinning their wheels, trying harder, but still not quite able to be who they know they could be. Often they are quite competent at work, but find challenges in their interpersonal relationships and find themselves caught up in remorse or self-condemnation, thinking if they could just try harder or be more consistent they would finally get it right. They often have hurts around family of origin dynamics or church systems and feel a sense of inadequacy and not measuring up. I work with clients who would like spiritual direction. This is separate from therapy and is not regulated by therapy licensing boards. This is detailed more on my website.”

“As someone who was diagnosed later in life with ADHD, EDS, MCAS, and Autonomic Dysfunction, I have a unique understanding of the challenges involved in achieving optimal physical and mental functioning. I operate a solo private practice in Western North Carolina, and have obtained clinical licensure in multiple states to support the growth of my telehealth services. I am also a Certified Clinical Services Provider in ADHD, which underscores my commitment to supporting individuals diagnosed with or suspecting they may have ADHD.”

“I work with individuals navigating a range of mental health concerns, with a primary focus on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and trauma-related conditions. Many of my clients experience intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, heightened anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and the lingering effects of past traumatic experiences. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Processing (EMDR) to support clients in reducing symptom severity, increasing distress tolerance, and improving overall functioning. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward more stable, values-driven lives.”

“I work with substance use and addiction clients, 18+. In particular, I wish to help those impacted by the criminal justice system, producing a new detour to break from the cycle.”

“I work with adults aged 18 and older who are navigating generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, and life, work, or academic stress. I welcome clients seeking compassionate support to better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.”
