I'm passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families with young children address challenges to live a better and more meaningful life.

I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Milligan University. My personal mental health experiences coupled with my education and professional experience enable me to give clients the support they seek.
I utilize multiple treatment approaches based on the client's individual needs, including mindfulness/grounding techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
