I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) located in Raleigh, North Carolina. I graduated from East Carolina University with my Master of Social Work and also have my bachelors degree in Family and Community Services with a concentration in Child Development. I am currently in the process of working towards my Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) certification. When I am not working, I am going on walks, listening to Taylor Swift, trying new coffee shops , baking, or spending time with my friends/family. I also enjoy traveling to new places and exploring with those closest to me!

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help you heal from past trauma, anxiety, and stressful life experiences. EMDR helps your brain process and reframe painful memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming. Through guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR reduces emotional distress, eases triggers, and fosters a sense of relief and control. Whether you're struggling with trauma, persistent anxiety, or distressing life events, EMDR can help you move forward with greater peace and resilience. You deserve healing, and EMDR can be a powerful tool to get there.
Trauma can leave lasting emotional and physical effects, making it difficult to feel safe, trust others, or move forward. Therapy provides a supportive, compassionate space to process past experiences, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a sense of control. Using approaches like EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness, therapy can help you reprocess painful memories, build healthy coping strategies, and strengthen your resilience. You are not defined by what happened to you—healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.
Helps identify and reframe negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and manage anxiety, depression, and stress more effectively.
