I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Durham, NC. I hold a Master of Social Work from UNC-Chapel Hill and dual bachelor's degrees in Art History and English from UT-Austin.

My practice is grounded in Experiential Dynamic Therapy (ISTDP, AEDP). A lifelong learner, I regularly receive advanced supervision, participate in intensive continuing education, and am in several peer learning and supervision groups. I have extensive mindfulness training, which influences my clinical work. I have a special interest in Insight Dialogue, an interpersonal mindfulness practice. I am also a certified facilitator with the MEIA Institute (formerly Koru Mindfulness). Since 2011, I have taught yoga and meditation to diverse groups, from three-year-olds to older adults.

Prior to opening my private practice, I trained in individual psychotherapy (CBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy) at the UNC Psychology and Neuroscience Community Clinic and provided mental health services to recently resettled refugees through UNC Refugee Wellness. I also worked with patients in treatment for eating disorders at the residential, partial-hospital, and intensive-outpatient level.
