I graduated from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC with a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Clinical Counseling/Rehabilitation Counseling and Clinical Substance Abuse Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) and a Registered Nurse (RN) in North Carolina. I work virtually through HIPPAA compliant platforms and believe therapy is grounded in the relationship between Therapist and Client. I have over 15 years of experience and believe your Mental Health is just as-if not more- important as your physical health. I am passionate about helping people LIVE their best life and not merely exist. I believe in accountability and helping people become the best version of themselves.

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

In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, review intake/assessment paperwork then dive into specific challenges you would like to discuss. This will help me a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

I have worked with individuals struggling with severe mental illness, substance use/alcohol use disorders in both Outpatient and Inpatient settings, College/University students, prison/probation clients and the healthcare system (assisted living/nursing homes/rehab settings) as both a Therapiat and a Registered Nurse. I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I can listen, validate your concerns, and offer encouragement, new perspectives and insight to help you move forward. I intend to do everything I can to facilitate you achieving your goals.
