As a clinical psychologist (she/her pronouns) with over 15 years of experience providing individual, group and family therapy, I help adults who have experienced trauma, major life transitions, or overwhelming stress find clarity, connection, and lasting change in their lives.

Training and Experience

I was born and raised in NC and completed my undergraduate degrees at UNC Chapel Hill. I went on to complete my Master's and Doctoral degrees at UNC Greensboro, where I received generalist training in mental health treatment across inpatient, college counseling and various outpatient community-based treatment centers. While there, I specialized in the assessment and treatment of ADHD and co-occurring disorders in the college-aged and adult population. I went on to complete my internship and postdoctoral years through the Boston VA Healthcare System, with appointments at Boston University and Harvard Medical School. I provided residential and outpatient treatment for veterans and specialized in addiction, trauma, and behavioral medicine.

I worked for several years at Columbia University Medical Center’s Day Program as a staff trauma and addictions specialist providing intensive group and individual CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic treatment for adults. I completed post-graduate training in several trauma therapy modalities while in NYC and started a DBT consultation team at the Day Program to better serve staff and clients involved in the DBT skills groups. I moved back to NC and served as the Clinical Director of a mental health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in the Triangle area before opening my private practice in 2020.

Who I Work With

I offer the opportunity for adults to work with me in person or via telehealth doing individual and adult family therapy. I am licensed in NC (#5511) and NY (#020723) and am a PSYPACT Authorization Holder (APIT #12573), which allows me to provide telehealth services to clients in PSYPACT participating states. I am proud to serve the community I grew up in and am glad to be able to connect with clients in other states needing my skill set.

I work with adults (18+) with a variety of presenting and co-occurring issues, including:

• PTSD, C-PTSD and trauma symptoms

• Mood/Anxiety Disorders

• Personality Disorders

• Dissociative Disorders and symptoms

• ADHD and Executive Functioning difficulties

• Substance Use Disorders and other addictions

• Adjustment Disorders

• Relationship difficulties

• Grief, loss and life transitions

• Chronic Pain and illness

I also greatly enjoy supervising and consulting with therapists and collaborating with other providers. I have training in supervision and experience working as a Clinical Director and Assistant Director in several clinics. I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) provider and an approved IFS Consultant able to support colleagues learning the IFS model and working on their own consultation hours towards certification.
