My passion for counseling started when one of my loved ones was diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder. Seeing a family member suffer on a daily basis made me want to help other individuals facing similar struggles. I hope to guide and support you through the challenges that you may be facing. My role is to assist you in reaching your therapy goals by providing non-judgmental support and helping to facilitate your journey.

I believe that each individual is unique and has different life experiences. Therefore, my therapeutic approach may vary depending on each client’s individual needs. I use Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Person-Centered, and Strength-Based theories. I also include mindfulness techniques to help clients feel more relaxed and grounded. I work with adolescents and adults with varying issues including anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, life transitions, grief, relational issues, self-esteem, self-worth, stress, peer relationships, and other life stressors.

I graduated from Winthrop University with a Masters of Education in Counseling and Development with a Concentration in Clinical Mental Health. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, dancing, traveling to new places, and trying new restaurants. I look forward to collaborating with you on your therapy journey.

Trying to juggle marriage, kids, work, home and so much more leaves very little time for yourself. Trying to balance it all when it all seems to be falling apart can be difficult. It can feel like you are being pulled in all directions. But all hope is not lost….

I have experience helping clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and PTSD. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages from 8 years old to adults and can help you access the skills and techniques needed to help you enjoy life to its fullest. 

I received my Bachelor’s degree from Liberty University and my Master’s from Baylor University. In my personal time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy taking weekend trips and hiking. 

There is so much more waiting for you so reach out now to set up an in person or virtual appointment. I look forward to working with you!

My interest and passion to help others was evident at an early age and was pursued following a close friend’s traumatic experience. Witnessing how devastated this traumatic event left my friend in a constant state of fear, hopelessness and loneliness was truly difficult to watch. Her personal and familial beliefs that therapy is an outward admission of failure or defeat, the notion that it’s best to keep quiet and not talk about the trauma, caused my friend to suffer in silence. 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have seen first hand how many survivors choose silence as a way to cope with trauma, grief and pain. I’ve witnessed how the lack of mental health care can take its toll on the individual and their families involved. I decided that it would be my mission to educate, increase the awareness and benefits of mental health care, while removing the stigmas, judgment and any negative cultural perceptions of what some may think therapy consists of. Most importantly I made it my mission to help those that may be hesitant or even afraid to begin their healing journey. 

Healing can be a challenging journey and deciding to begin therapy can be a daunting but necessary first step towards healing and personal growth. I strive to create a safe, non judgemental environment and provide a set of skills that are based on listening, caring, respect and encouragement. I am committed to support you in processing and overcoming life challenges while working to improve your quality of life. 

Overall my goal is to help you along your path to self discovery, self acceptance and personal growth. Our work together will explore the injuries from your past, heal emotional wounds and discover the value you hold as a unique individual in the present. Healing can be a challenging journey, but I’m here to walk this journey with you.
