I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS) in NC with over 15 yrs of experience in community, higher education and group private practice settings. I founded Birch Grove Counseling & Consulting with the hope of connecting my passion for counseling with a sustainable model of career/life balance that keeps me offering my best to my clients for years to come.

What I love most about counseling is developing trusting relationships with clients and witnessing their growth as they lean into their strengths and deepen their resilience. I seek to approach my clients with humility, respect, curiosity, acceptance and authenticity in order to gently hold their stories and experiences.

In my work, I draw from EMDR (eye movement desensitization), ACT(acceptance and commitment therapy), brainspotting, mindfulness, expressive arts, internal family systems (IFS) and other trauma-informed practices through a social justice lens. With a deep commitment to equitable care celebrating gender, sexuality, race, and culture, my practice is LGBTQ+ allied and weight-inclusive. 

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring with my family and our sweet pup, Teddy; baking, hiking, photography, interior design, and remodeling.
