LCMHC, 4 years of experience
I know how overwhelming it can be to struggle with anxiety, depression, and burnout—especially when past help hasn’t felt like the right fit. My approach is eclectic and person-centered, meaning I tailor therapy to your unique needs. I integrate Narrative Therapy, Bibliotherapy, IFS, DBT, TF-CBT, and Motivational Interviewing, with Christian integration available upon request. I’ve worked in mental health since 2007 and earned my degree from Liberty University in 2022. I understand the complexities of deep emotions, neurodiversity, and personal growth, and I create a space where you feel truly seen and heard. If you’re looking for a therapist who values your individuality and meets you where you are, I’d be honored to support you.
During your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where your comfort and sense of safety are prioritized. This initial meeting is all about getting to know each other; I'll be keen to understand your unique experiences, concerns, and what you hope to achieve through our work together. We'll discuss your background, any specific challenges you're facing, and your goals for therapy. It's also an opportunity for you to ask questions and get a feel for my therapeutic approach, ensuring that we're a good fit for each other. This session is the foundation of our therapeutic relationship, designed to build trust and set the stage for your journey towards healing and personal growth. Together, we'll outline a preliminary plan tailored to your needs, marking the first step on your path to well-being.
My approach is eclectic and deeply person-centered, meaning I tailor therapy to fit you—your experiences, your strengths, and your goals. I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Narrative Therapy, Bibliotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. If faith is important to you, I also offer Christian integration upon request. I earned my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in 2022, but my journey in mental health started long before that—I’ve been working in the field since 2007. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals facing complex mental health challenges, and I’ve seen firsthand the resilience that comes from finding the right support.
Maybe you're feeling exhausted—burnt out, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn. Anxiety and depression may be weighing on you, making it hard to feel connected in your life or in therapy. You’ve reached out for help before but haven’t felt truly seen, heard, or understood. You’ve tried so hard, only to be met with challenge after challenge. And yet, despite it all, you’re still searching, still hoping for something different. I see your resilience. I see the effort it’s taken to get here.
Through counseling, we will work together to foster healing, forgiveness, and renewal, helping you navigate difficulties while staying rooted in your spiritual convictions. My goal is to support you in finding deeper meaning, purpose, and resilience—equipping you with both faith-based wisdom and practical tools to move forward with confidence and peace.
My counseling approach is eclectic, integrating elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Person-Centered Therapy to meet each client’s unique needs. From DBT, I draw on skills-based strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering clients practical tools to navigate intense emotions and improve relationships. Motivational Interviewing provides a collaborative, nonjudgmental framework to explore and resolve ambivalence, empowering clients to strengthen their own commitment to change. Grounded in Person-Centered principles, I create a safe, empathetic, and non-directive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and valued. By weaving these approaches together, I tailor interventions to support each individual’s goals, strengths, and readiness for change, fostering both insight and actionable progress.
