Happiness is not a matter of intensity, but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.

You’re the one everyone depends on but rarely thinks to check on.

You’re put together. You’re smart, successful, capable, and always finding a way to get things done. You’re the strong one – the dependable friend, committed partner, supportive mom, and loyal colleague. But behind all that, you’re overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or wondering why you don’t feel as happy or confident as everyone assumes you are.

I get it. You don’t have to carry all of that alone.

Working hard to be perfect, worrying about all the things, beating yourself up, feeling down, second-guessing, or just trying to get through the day, all can make life feel hard. Therapy can be a place where you finally exhale. A place where you don’t have to have all the answers and you can get support through some of life’s hard moments. 

I love helping women recognize that they don’t have to choose between being strong and taking care of themselves. You can set boundaries without guilt. You can honor your own needs without feeling selfish. And you can embrace both your imperfections and your strengths with confidence and self-compassion.

My hope is that you’ll leave each session feeling heard, encouraged, and more equipped to create a life that feels balanced, peaceful, and true to who you are, not just who everyone needs you to be.

You spend so much of your life showing up for others. This is your opportunity to show up for yourself.

Professional Background…
For over 25 years, in a range of settings, I have helped men, women, children, parents, and families who have struggled with depression, anxiety, loss, self-esteem, relationship challenges, trauma, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and a number of other issues.

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Pittsburgh. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of NC and a Licensed Independent Social Worker – Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in SC.

On a slightly personal note…
I am celebrating 22 years of marriage this year, and I’m a boy mom x3. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time laughing and having fun with family and friends. I’m honored for the opportunity to support my clients through their personal journey. I’m truly grateful to God for entrusting me with this very special assignment, that of connecting with people and helping them find solutions to their problems.
