As a lifelong native of Hendersonville, I have deep roots in this community, and I'm genuinely honored to serve its residents through mental health care. I'm thrilled to be part of the Hendersonville Counseling team and to 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 settings 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 stayed the same: to understand where someone is starting from, help them feel less alone, and walk alongside them as they build 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, tailored to each client's needs. My goal is to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients can explore what's weighing on them, deepen insight, and develop practical, evidence-based tools that support meaningful and lasting change. This includes strengthening coping skills, supporting self-care, and building self-compassion in ways that feel realistic and sustainable in daily life. Growth isn't just about getting through hard moments. It's about learning to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-compassion, using approaches grounded in research and adapted to each person's 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, and soaking up time outdoors whenever I can. These moments keep me balanced and present, and remind me 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's 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.
