Why I Do This Work:

I am a deeply feeling person—someone who has always been drawn to understanding the stories that shape us. I was raised in the rural, conservative South, in a culture that valued sexual conformity and, more importantly, abstinence and being a "good Christian girl." For years, I carried the belief that my worth was defined by my ability to conform—by my uniformity, my purity, my adherence to the roles expected of me. Unlearning those messages was a long and intentional process, one that ultimately led me to this work. My mother once told me I’d make a great tabloid reporter because I always wanted to get to the heart of why people do what they do. That curiosity stayed with me, and now I use it in my work as a therapist.

Growing up is hard—at any age. We are constantly evolving, and as we raise children or prepare to become parents, we inevitably revisit our own childhoods. These moments of reflection can be profound, challenging, and sometimes unsettling. As we age, we arrive at points where we wonder if we’re living in alignment with who we truly are. I want to help people feel like their insides match their outsides—that they are living with peace, authenticity, and intention.

I have always been fascinated by people’s stories—by the ways we unconsciously repeat patterns and the ways we can break free from them. Much of how we live and interact with others is shaped by unconscious forces, and therapy gives us the opportunity to become intentional—to make conscious choices about how we want to live and love.

I believe that healing happens in relationships. None of us exist in isolation, and we all need someone to listen to us with openness and curiosity. My ideal clients are those who are interested in their own growth—especially parents or those preparing to become parents—because I know that as we raise our children, we are also reckoning with our own upbringings. Parenting is one of the most humbling, challenging, and transformative experiences in life, and I want to help people navigate it with intention and self-compassion.

Creative expression has always been a huge part of how I process the world, and I see it as an entry point into parts of ourselves that have been dormant, unseen, or neglected. Personally, I try to infuse my life with beauty, creativity, and pleasure, and I encourage my clients to do the same.

As Mary Oliver asks, "Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Therapy is about answering that question—finding the courage to live authentically, to break cycles, and to step into a life that feels true. If you’re ready to explore that journey, I’d love to walk alongside you.

How I Do This Work:

My direct yet non-judgmental style fosters authenticity, enabling clients to build trust in themselves and in their relationships. I believe that when we create space for honesty and self-exploration, we give ourselves permission to live more freely, shedding the expectations and narratives that no longer serve us.

One of my greatest passions is helping people find freedom from the thoughts, behaviors, cultural norms, and societal expectations that have weighed heavy for so long—the “shoulds,” the timelines, the values that don’t actually belong to you, yet you’ve carried around for years.

Through a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach, I provide a supportive, affirming, and encouraging space where we can explore what is no longer working for you. Together, we will examine the stories you’ve been told, the ones you tell yourself, and the ones you’re ready to rewrite.

I take a systemic and intersectional approach, recognizing that our lived experiences are shaped by intergenerational narratives, social location, and relational dynamics. I incorporate Narrative Therapy to help clients explore the historical narratives passed down by their families and cultures, as well as the internal stories that shape their identities and relationships.

When working with couples, I focus on the role of emotion in shaping behavioral interactions. The way we communicate and respond to one another is often deeply influenced by unspoken emotional experiences. By slowing down and bringing awareness to these emotions, we can uncover the underlying needs, fears, and longings that drive our relationships. Whether working with couples navigating traditional monogamy or those exploring consensual non-monogamy, kink, BDSM, and other unique relational dynamics, I help partners create relationships that align with their values, desires, and authentic selves.

I have experience supporting clients through relational conflict, life transitions, communication challenges, intimacy and sexual concerns, divorce, blended family dynamics, and trauma. As a culturally sensitive, social justice-focused, LGBTQIA+/poly-affirmative, and kink-aware therapist, I recognize the ways systemic oppression, identity, and intersectionality influence personal and relational struggles.

My role is not to dictate the “right” way to live or love, but to help you reconnect with your own answers, break negative relational patterns, and cultivate a life that feels true to you.

I view therapy as a partnership and I strive to create a space that is safe, warm, and playful—a space where both you and I can show up as our imperfect, authentic selves. As we work together, I hope to empower you with the tools and skills to thrive.
