Hi. I am a LPC in Georgia and a LCMHC in North Carolina. Additionally, I am a Nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I received my master's degree from VCU in 2015, became licensed in 2020, and have been practicing on my own ever since. I live by two mottos "It takes a village" and "take time for you". It is important to “take time for yourself,” because we need time to recharge, so that we can continue to persevere. However, there comes a time in everyone’s life where the support of the village is needed. That’s why I believe “it takes a village” and working together as a team is important. Whether it is a clinician and client duo, or a team of medical professionals, we can achieve reasonable and practical goals.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will introduce ourselves and I will begin to get to know you. I will ask questions concerning background family history and upbringing leading up to today. This will assist me to get to know you from the start. We will then dive into the concerns which brought you into services. In following sessions, I will utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), along with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to name a few. I use various techniques and theories, to help maintain a healthy mental state. I recognize that every individual has a different struggle and may require the utilization of a combination of theories and/or techniques. Therefore, my approach is person centered. I endeavor to assist my clients to set and reach realistic goals that lead to achieve self-actualization. Let’s begin working together to build a healthier and stronger you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked with people for over 20+ years. I am insightful, helpful, straightforward, and humble. My goal is to assist you to reach YOUR goals.
