My approach is centered on the belief that a strong therapeutic alliance is the foundation of successful treatment. I find deep professional fulfillment in meeting new patients and taking the time to build a genuine, lasting sense of trust.

I understand that seeking mental health support can be a vulnerable experience, which is why I prioritize creating a safe, welcoming environment where every individual feels heard and respected. By blending clinical expertise with a person-centered philosophy, I work collaboratively with my patients to develop tailored treatment plans that support long-term wellness and resilience.

When I am not in the office, I enjoy embracing the coastal lifestyle of North Carolina. You can often find me working in my garden or spending time on the water, activities that keep me grounded and energized to provide the best care possible for those I serve.
