Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with clients who live in North Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee. I graduated with Master's of Science in Counseling Psychology in 2014, and have 10 years of experience working with people from all walks of life. Most commonly, I have worked with clients struggling with: Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Suicidal Ideation, and adjustments to life changes. My aim is to meet my clients where they are to help them achieve their goals. More important than the treatments I can provide, I want you to know: 1. You matter! 2. God cares about you! 3. I care about you! 4. Change is possible! 5. I am praying for you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
For some people, beginning counseling is scary and intimidating, and for others it is easy and exciting. This is why the first session looks different for everyone. Whether you are ready to share your life story, or if you rather be hiding under a rock, the level of detail you disclose is up to you. Regardless, I am always interested to learn about what brings you to counseling, and if you have any goals you would like to work on.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I personally went to counseling for several years before becoming a counselor. The counselors I saw provided a safe space for me to talk about the things going on in my life, but nothing really changed. That was until I started seeing a Christian counselor, who taught me new skills that helped me to make lasting changes. This is why I specialize in treatments that help my clients learn new skills while getting to the root cause.

Christian Counseling
I have provided Christian Counseling to help clients seeking healing and growth for many years, and have seen clients overcome life-long battles with: feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy, addictive behaviors, overwhelming worries and fears, people-pleasing, perfectionism, aggression, self-pity andwe will do together is summarized by Romans 12:2, which inspires us to not be conformed to the world, but to be Transformed by renewing our minds. Many of our minds are polluted with hurtful and unhelpful thinking. I would like to walk alongside you as you discover or rediscover who you are as a child of God by choosing to think the thoughts God has for and about you. I like to meet my clients where they are on their spiritual journey, and only incorporate Biblical and faith-based resources to the extent the client desires. Regardless of treatment method, I am a Christian, and keep all of my clients lifted in prayer.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have practiced as a Cognitive Behavioral therapist for nine years to help clients with a wide range of issues such as: Depression, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Addictions, Insomnia, Relationship Problems, and more. The goal of CBT is to identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to the problems you are experiencing, and learn to make gradual changes that aid in recovery. CBT is not a means to gaslight and invalidate your experiences, rather a tool to help you overcome unhelpful and unbalanced thoughts and behavior patterns.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
For the past five years, I worked primarily with military personnel and had the opportunity to treat many clients with PTSD. Whether trauma is related to sexual abuse, combat, or other life-altering experiences, over time it often eats away at a person effecting the way they see themselves, others, and the world around them. The goal of Cognitive Processing Therapy is not to have you relive your traumatic experiences. Instead we focus on identifying how trauma is effecting your thoughts today, and learning how to get "unstuck" from the past.
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have practiced as a Dialectical Behavioral therapist for nine years to help clients with a wide-range of problems learn to live more balanced lives. DBT sessions tend to be structured, and are focused on learning new skills in the areas of: mindfulness, regulating emotions, tolerating distressing experiences, and communicating effectively. To complete all of the DBT lessons often takes close to a year; however, I often work with clients seeking short-term counseling who benefit greatly from DBT by focusing on the skill area that will have the biggest impact.
