I am a professional helper based in Durham, North Carolina. Regarding credentials, I am a Licensed Psychological Associate, so I have the education and experience to provide psychotherapy. I am also a yoga teacher, so mindfulness and embodiment practices are an important part of my approach to helping and healing.

In my life and in my work, I show care by making sure that people feel seen and supported. I listen with empathy and compassion. I provide coping strategies and grounding techniques to help process emotions, build resiliency, and interrupt harmful thoughts or behaviors. And, I help you tap into your own strengths and intuition to find effective solutions to life's issues.

I work with adolescents and adults on issues that include depression, anxiety, chronic stress, traumatic stress, grief, and life transitions. I help people address concerns with family dynamics, interpersonal relationships, body image, self-esteem, and identity exploration. My approach to therapy integrates multiple perspectives including DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), solutions-focused, strengths-based, and person-centered therapies, as well as mindfulness-based and body-centered (somatic) practices.
