Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves-noticing that their thoughts are busy, their body feels tense or tired, or that they keep reacting in ways they don't fully understand. Others arrive with a quiet sense that something is off, even if they can't clearly name why. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, listen more closely, and begin rebuilding a sense of trust in your own internal experience.
My clinical interests center on supporting people who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm, especially when those patterns are tied to stress, past experiences, or difficulty feeling safe in their own body. I value a collaborative, grounded approach that prioritizes emotional regulation, curiosity, and honesty. In sessions, I focus on helping clients notice patterns, build practical tools for steadiness, and reconnect with what feels meaningful and true for them.
I am a counselor-in-training currently pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Troy University. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and bring experience in trauma-informed support, crisis intervention, and mindfulness-based practices. My training is informed by trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, DBT-informed skills, and body-aware approaches, with particular attention to nervous system regulation and self-compassion.
I believe therapy works best when it is relational, respectful, and attuned to the whole person. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult season or wanting to understand yourself more clearly, I offer a steady, thoughtful space to explore what's happening and move forward with greater alignment.
