I’m a queer woman and a therapist born and raised in NC, where I’ve spent much of my adult life navigating the intersections of queerness, identity, and “southern culture”, including spiritual and religious beliefs. I now live happily with my wife, and that personal journey deeply informs how I show up for clients. My approach is grounded in believing my clients’ lived experiences, honoring their values and beliefs, and affirming that there is nothing broken or shameful within queerness.

I have over seven years of experience in mental health across hospitals, emergency departments, and intensive outpatient settings, with more than three years dedicated to facilitating LGBTQIA+ groups and providing affirming care. I continue to pursue ongoing education and CEUs in LGBTQIA+ topics and maintain an active awareness of the evolving needs and strengths of our community. My goal is to offer a space where queer and questioning individuals feel seen, safe, and supported in every part of who they are.

I offer telehealth sessions for individuals located in NC and I offer nature based sessions to anyone in the Asheville area.
