About My Work
You’ve done a lot on your own- reading, reflecting, trying to understand your patterns- but something still isn’t shifting in the way you hoped. Or maybe this is your first time in therapy and you want someone warm, grounded, and genuinely invested. Wherever you’re starting, I’ll meet you there.
My work focuses on helping clients understand the deeper beliefs and experiences that shape how they think, feel, and relate. I blend EMDR, somatic awareness, and relational insight to help you move beyond old patterns that leave you anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected- not just in your mind, but in the felt sense of your body.
I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, collaborative, and human. You’ll experience a balance of nurturing support and gentle, direct guidance- a space where you can exhale, be fully yourself, and create meaningful, lasting change.

About Me
I grew up in a small college town in Mississippi, a place that shaped my curiosity and eventually pushed me to build a life that felt authentically mine. After initially pursuing law, I found myself in a “quarter-life recalibration” that led me toward the mental health field - a path that felt meaningful in a way nothing else had.
I spent four years in Austin, where I worked with AmeriCorps, earned my graduate degree from St. Edward’s University, and trained at Austin State Hospital, working closely with individuals navigating severe mental illness. Those experiences strengthened both my clinical judgment and my belief in the power of human connection.
I now live in Charlottesville, Virginia, with my husband, my son, and our labradoodle, Summer, and offer virtual sessions to clients across Texas. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me exploring new coffee shops, reading novels, taking barre classes, or playing the piano - small rituals that help me stay grounded and connected to myself.
Premarital Counseling
As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator (and someone recently married), I love supporting couples in building a connected, communicative, values-aligned partnership. My sessions are structured, clarifying, and deeply relational — a space to strengthen what’s working and tend to what needs attention.
