I work with young adult and adult women who present with symptoms of eating disorders, low self-esteem, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting (including parenting of special needs children; I myself am the mother of a child with autism and a rare genetic condition). I approach counseling through a Biblical perspective and know God does not want you to stay trapped in mental turmoil. I believe that Jesus Christ is the real source of hope and healing, and I want to help you live a life not only free of suffering but also full of deep faith and joyful living.
I graduated with my BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wake Forest University. I work from Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy treatment modalities while remaining flexible to adapt to each individual’s unique needs.
I earned my Eating Disorder Informed Professional Designation from the Eating Recovery Center and completed coursework through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. I work with teen and adult females diagnosed with anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia, and binge eating disorder. I also completed training in the treatment of OCD (through Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital Psychiatry Academy) and trauma (through the International Trauma Training Institute) and am a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP).
