I’m a mother, a former camp director, and someone who has always cared deeply about how people make sense of their lives. I’m drawn to the places where things feel tender or stuck—where something needs care, honesty, or room to shift.
I studied Religious Studies and Psychology at the University of Alabama (Roll Tide), where I became deeply interested in how faith, suffering, and healing intersect. Years later, I returned to graduate school to pursue my M.S.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Pennsylvania.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years directing a traditional summer camp and living on a farm—experiences that grounded me in the rhythms of care, community, the joy of being alive, and deep attention, especially to the natural world. These seasons of life shaped my understanding of God’s nearness in the ordinary and taught me how to listen—with reverence, not just insight.
My Christian faith is central to who I am. It informs how I see people: as inherently worthy, deeply loved, and never beyond the reach of grace. I don’t impose my beliefs in the therapy room, but I welcome clients who want to integrate their spiritual life into the process.
I’ve walked through my own seasons of grief, rebuilding, and return—and I believe in the quiet strength of honest connection with self, with others, and with God. If we work together, I’ll bring my full attention—not just as a clinician, but as a person who honors the complexity, courage, and sacredness of being human.
