I earned my Masters in Science in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During my graduate program, I worked with children - young adults at Duke’s Center for Eating Disorders (specializing in anorexia, binge-eating, and ARFID) as well as in intensive-in-home treatment and community mental health settings.

Over the past 11 years I have been a preschool and elementary classroom teacher, a school counselor, and a private psychotherapist. My experience in the classroom has given me a unique lens in my work as a psychotherapist with children as I know from direct teaching experience how some of the challenges that our children experience can play out in the classroom and other childhood environments. I have worked with parents and families and alongside other health professionals (doctors, psychiatrists, dietitians, occupational therapists, etc).

I specialize in working with “career kids”, twice exceptional and “gifted” children, child athletes, children experiencing anxiety, and children with ADHD.
