As a lifelong native of Hendersonville, my heart is deeply rooted in this community, and I’m
genuinely honored to serve its residents through mental health care. I’m thrilled to be a part of
the Hendersonville Counseling team and bring both my professional experience and personal
passion directly to the people here.
I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings from crisis and behavioral health
centers to inpatient and outpatient treatment, addiction services, and private practice. Each of
these spaces has deepened my understanding of how different and personal each person’s
struggle can be, and how much healing happens when someone feels truly understood.
I’ve supported people through PTSD and complex trauma, depression and anxiety, autism
spectrum needs, chronic illness, cancer diagnoses, pregnancy and postpartum changes,
parenting challenges, and substance use recovery. No matter the setting or the concern, my
goal has always stayed the same: to meet people where they are, help them feel less alone,
and walk alongside them as they build healing, strength, and hope in their own way.
I approach therapy through an evidence-based, integrative lens, primarily drawing from
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered care, while tailoring treatment to
meet each individual where they are. My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental
space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, deepen insight, and develop practical,
evidence-based tools that support meaningful and lasting change. This includes strengthening
coping skills, supporting self-care, and fostering self-love in a way that feels realistic and
sustainable in your daily life. I believe healing is not just about getting through hard
moments but learning how to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, self-compassion,
and a deeper sense of care and kindness toward yourself, supported by approaches grounded
in research and adapted to your unique needs.
Outside of my professional life, I’m a proud mom who deeply values time with family and the
simple, grounding moments that bring connection and joy. I enjoy family game nights, walking
my two rescue dogs, or soaking up time outdoors whenever I can. These moments help me stay
balanced, present, and reminded of the importance of play, connection, and enjoying life along
the way. Above all, I believe people don’t have to walk through life’s hardest chapters alone. It
is an honor to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and rediscover their strength.
For accessibility and flexibility, I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions. My current
availability is Monday through Friday, with some early morning and evening appointment options
to help accommodate a variety of schedules. Reach out to join my waitlist for potential Saturday
availability.
