Feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained from life’s anxieties? I can help. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor motivated by empathy and a desire to educate, encourage, and strengthen individuals, children/adolescents, and families initiate change and a brighter perspective. I received a Master of Arts in Human Services: Marriage and Family Counseling from Liberty University. With over 7 years of work experience in behavioral and mental health. I successfully utilize creativity while working with children/teens, adults, and families with an array of mental health concerns and needs. My invaluable experience includes, but is not limited to ADHD, depression, anxiety, and stress management. I am here to create a safe place for each client to find strength, regulate emotions, and change behaviors.
