As a therapist, I specialize in women’s mental health across every stage of life. From the identity shifts of early adulthood to the emotional impact of hormonal changes—through fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause—I’m here to walk alongside you.

I support women navigating major life transitions such as:

• Career and role changes

• Family structure shifts

• A child/loved one’s disability or neurodiversity diagnosis

• Coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, and grief—such as perinatal loss, empty nesting, or the loss of a loved one

I’ve received specialized training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International, including advanced work in supporting families through pregnancy loss and grief.

Additionally, I have completed specialized training through the Star Behavioral Health Providers in partnership with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, equipping me to effectively support service members, veterans, and their families. I provide culturally competent, evidence-based care tailored to the unique challenges of military life, including deployment, transition, and trauma.

I currently offer therapy both in person at our Ballantyne office and virtually for clients across North Carolina. I’m in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and United Health Care.

Outside of the therapy space, I volunteer with my certified therapy dog, Renegade, as part of Invisible Paw Prints, providing comfort and support wherever it's needed in the Charlotte community.
