Hello.

My practice was born out a desire for people to feel seen, heard, and understood in their walk through this life. We all have stories, heartache, pain, and heaviness. We all also have the capacity for healing, release, growth, joy (!), and meaningful connection - to ourselves, to others, to this life we’re here living.

Finding the right words to convey this to you even on this website was tough because there’s so much I want you to know, but here’s what it comes down to - authenticity is my guiding word.

In a lightning bolt moment, I realized that authenticity is what I value, it’s what I seek in my life, and it’s the guiding principle of what I do.

So, welcome. Hi. I’m a psychotherapist in private practice in Weaverville, NC.

I’m a human like you, first and foremost. I’m also a mother, an introvert, and a lover of books, journaling, candles, and cozy blankets. I was an English major in college before going back for my Master of Social Work and I quote from books a lot in session, both fiction and non-fiction. I have a thing for squishy cat noses and sunrise is my absolute favorite time of day. I’m crocheter of 20 years and a stained glass crafter of two years. I had a passion for soccer all through my childhood and played into college; now I cheer on my daughter from the sidelines.

My clients often say that I feel like a safe space; some of that is my personality, some of it is my training, and much of it is because I have suffered in my life, too. I know the pain of loss, grief, trauma, and hardship.

A suicide loss changed the course of my life at age 19. In my 20s, I lost my dad to a heart attack within hours. In my 30s, my sisters and I sat with our mom as her body let go after eight months of end stage cancer. I’ve experienced traumatic birth, divorce, challenges of motherhood, coparenting, and solo parenting, and the damaging effects of anxiety and chronic stress.

I do the work of therapy because I genuinely love it. I feel honored to sit with people as they go in and through their pain to meet hope and their future on the other side. If the struggle of your life has you feeling lost, overburdened, fearful, and emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained, therapy can help.

Imagine the feeling of coming home to yourself- listening to your body and what it needs, hearing your intuition and what it’s saying, honoring the wisdom of your experiences.
