I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience working with folks that have experienced trauma.  Originally, from North Carolina, I received my Master of Social Work at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.  I have lived in Southern California for about 10 years.

My clinical training and experience includes working in community mental health, supportive housing environments for adolescents, human trafficking agencies, rape crisis facilities, college campuses, and veteran support services.  These experiences have shaped my passion to support folks that have experienced trauma and have challenges with PTSD and anxiety.   

I believe healing can be found in a variety of ways that are unique to each of us.  Our identities, experiences, and stories shape who we are.  I believe it is monumental to learn how all of our pieces intersect to create our authentic self.  By understanding these, healing can be transformative. 

I use modalities such as EMDR, CBT, IFS, along with creative options (art, music, writing) to support with our sessions.  I strive to create the safest space I can for clients.  I prioritize a trauma focused, intersectional, and social justice lens while working with folks.
