Biography

Taking the step to start therapy requires courage, and I believe that true growth and healing happen within a strong, collaborative partnership. I work with adults, children, adolescents, and families, meeting you exactly where you are with commitment, hard work, and deep empathy. I graduated in 2016 with a degree in Clinical/Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University. My approach is entirely tailored to your unique needs. By blending evidence-based practices with creative and philosophical approaches, we will work together to challenge painful thought processes, explore deep-rooted emotions, and improve relationships. Areas of Expertise & Specializations Trauma & PTSD: I specialize in helping individuals process and heal from trauma. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Creative Healing: I integrate Expressive Arts Therapy with traditional frameworks, using the creative arts to help express what words sometimes cannot, developing healthier thinking and behaviors along the way. Values & Meaning: Drawing from Existential Therapy, I help you/your child navigate life's big questions, overcome obstacles, and improve your overall quality of living by finding meaning based on your personal values.
