I am a licensed clinical social worker in Durham, NC. I hold a masters of social work from UNC-Chapel Hill and degrees in Art History and English from UT-Austin. I continually receive supervision for experiential dynamic therapy (EDT), engage in intensive EDT trainings, peer supervision, and several learning groups. I am a certified facilitator with the MEIA Institute (formerly Koru Mindfulness), have extensive mindfulness training and retreat experience, and have a special interest in Insight Dialogue, an interpersonal mindfulness practice. I have taught yoga and meditation to individuals and groups ranging from age 3 to 70 since 2011. 

Prior to my work in 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.
