Hello
Based in Chapel Hill, my private practice, Summit Wellness, offers a compassionate, authentic, and nonjudgmental space. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500), I can blend modalities of talk therapy with body-based work for holistic care. I view wellness and self-care as a series of daily decisions made in the present moment. I am here to help you with those decisions as you travel along your wellness journey.
​
Prior to moving to Chapel Hill, I lived in Boston where I was the Assistant Director for Fitness and Wellness at Boston College and in private practice. Before embarking in private practice, I worked at the Therapy Center of Philadelphia serving women, transgender, and gender non-conforming communities.
​
My personal interests include vinyasa yoga, hiking, Ayurvedic cooking, Korean dramas, reading mostly fiction, and spending time with my family and friends. Growing up in Blacksburg, Virginia, I had a strong connection with the blue ridge mountains inspiring the name for my private practice, Summit Wellness. One of my personal wellness highlights was competing internationally as an Elite Athlete for the Chinese National Federation in Equestrian Vaulting. On a professional level, serving others in the wellness world over the past decade has been the greatest privilege and experience of my life. I am humbled by the work and look forward to learning about you!
