About
Drawing from my experiences of loss and growth, I bring empathy, understanding, and a holistic approach rooted in compassion and advocacy to ensure each person feels seen, supported, and empowered on their unique journey.
I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor with 5 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life transitions and challenges. I have worked with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults, and I also have experience providing care to veterans and first responders. I help clients address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes through a safe and collaborative therapeutic process.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and collaborative. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, along with trauma-informed care tailored to each client’s unique needs and personal strengths.
I believe reaching out for support takes courage, and I honor the trust clients place in me as they begin their healing journey. I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, embrace their strengths, and work toward meaningful change, developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and peace along the way.
