Welcome to my practice, Cicada Psychotherapy. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina offering psychotherapy to adults and adolescents, as well as relationship counseling and group therapy. I have experience providing clinical work in residential, inpatient and community mental health settings. My background includes supporting adults in residential treatment for eating disorders, providing individual and group therapy to adults in early recovery from substance use, and facilitating psychotherapy groups on grief, chronic illness, and DBT skills.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational perspectives, attachment theory, and an awe for the human capacity for change and healing. One of my primary areas of focus is the impact of trauma on our sense of self, relationships, and communities.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I offered humanitarian aid and mutual aid work on the Southern border, studied as an herbalist, and worked in sexual assault crisis counseling. I come to this work with a belief in the possibility for healing, and a commitment to working towards social change.
