I’m a native Atlantan and I love to shop for bargains (thrift stores are my natural habitat). I have three cats and one dog, I own too many craft supplies, I think in movie quotes, and I believe in radical authenticity.

I’ve been working with people clinically since 2017. I’ve trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with a particular interest in trauma and dissociation—helping clients build lives worth living in the face of difficult symptoms. I became C‑DBT certified in 2022, and I earned the ISSTD Advanced Certificate in Complex Trauma & Dissociation in March 2024 (100+ hours of specialized training).
