May she always know the wonder that is her body.
May she always know its magic.
May she always have the ability to come back home to it.
To delight in it.
To trust its wisdom.
To know it is always for her, and never against her.

From teacher to supervisor to boss to mentor and colleague and friend, Maria has been one of the biggest players in my life, both professionally and personally. I owe so much to her and all of the ways she has skillfully, generously, and intentionally invested in my growth. Words truly fail to capture how insanely lucky I have been to learn from her over the last ten years. To slow down and stay curious. To practice discernment. To embrace challenge and lean into discomfort. To trust myself. To remember who the f**k I am. All things I have observed her do time and time and time again because she is one of the best and baddest out there.
Here we are having fun in pretty dresses at this year’s iaedp gala the other evening.
Love you, . Thank you for all that you do for all of us.

Here to help you recognize your own BS. Here to talk about any and all TV shows. Here to laugh with you when it’s appropriate and necessary. Here to remind you that it’s okay to be imperfectly human.

Hello! It means so much that you have visited my page.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (NC) and Nationally Certified Counselor at Three Birds Counseling and Clinical Supervision in Greensboro, NC, where I provide individual and group counseling services to adults and teens.
Living in a world that is constantly telling us that it’s not okay to be who we truly are is hard. Hurtful. Defeating. Exhausting. I want to help you be more of you. To help you own your voice, take up space, and feel liberated to be your full, authentic, complicated, and dynamic self. If you’re tired of shrinking yourself or being shrunk by others, I want to support you as you embrace this process of expansion.
As a counselor, I have worked with folks with a variety of concerns, including eating disorders and body image distress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use/addiction, self-injury, perfectionism, grief, and identity concerns. My counseling approach integrates Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral (DBT, ACT), and Feminist therapies. Additionally, Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating frameworks serve as the foundation for my work with individuals struggling with disordered eating and body image concerns. I have experience working in college counseling clinics; inpatient/residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient facilities; and private practice. I have advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and I am working toward achieving recognition as a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist. I earned my master’s degree in counseling with a specialization in college counseling and student development in 2015, and my PhD in counseling and counselor education in 2019, both from UNC-Greensboro.
In addition to my counseling experience, I have taught university classes at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels, and I have facilitated clinical supervision for master’s- and doctoral-level students completing internship field placement requirements. I have several scholarly publications, including journal articles and book chapters, and I have presented at many national, regional, and local conferences and workshops.
When I am not working, you will likely find me cuddling with my sweet dog, Honey, enjoying a warm cup of coffee, or moving my body in ways that bring my joy, such as rock climbing, yoga, or hiking!
