I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor with ten years of experience working in various areas of the mental health field. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at The University of Alabama followed by a Master of Science in Counseling and Psychology with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University. I have a passion for working with individuals, groups, and families in improving their overall mental health and quality of life.

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

Together, we will embark on this journey toward healing and work toward the goals that are most important to you. Through this, you will learn new skills to help cope with and move past complex trauma and trauma reminders. You will gain the courage to establish and maintain boundaries with others as well as the confidence to reclaim your life.

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

I am trained in evidence-based treatment modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Additionally, I utilize Child Parent Psychotherapy for families with children ages 0-5 who have experienced a traumatic event.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Opening up the door to heal trauma can be scary. However, it is not a journey that you have to go on alone. I am a licensed and board-certified therapist with experience in working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced various forms of trauma. My work is driven by a person-centered approach through a trauma-informed lens. I believe that it is important to understand how lived experiences and traumas can impact one’s life. I have a passion for walking alongside clients in their healing journey and inspiring hope.
