I am a compassionate, empathetic, and intuitive licensed clinical professional counselor. I earned an MA in Professional Counseling with a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Specialty at Liberty University. I have completed specialized training in TF-CBT, Certified-DBT (C-DBT), Certified Youth Mental Health Specialist (CYMHS), and EDMR. I have nine years of experience in group and individual therapy sessions. I enjoy working with my clients from a holistic perspective to assist them in healing their whole selves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Clients will take away renewed strength, empowerment, new tools, and mindfulness strategies, as well as become an improved holistic well-being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with youth and professionals for the past 9 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with young professionals who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use an integrated approach to therapy and mindfulness. I believe a therapist must first build rapport, actively listen, and be open-minded with the client for the magic of therapy to happen. With expertise in behavioral coaching and trauma, I approach group and individual sessions, successfully using DBT, SFBT, PT, and TF-CBT in an integrated approach. I also partner with the client on holistic healing from medical procedures, including bariatric and cosmetic surgeries.
Trauma-Focused CBT
With years of training in TF-CBT, these principles are utilized in sessions with clients who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize DBT with clinical interventions that reinforce DBT skills to improve the client's level of functioning. Integrating DBT principles into clinical practice in conjunction with other interventions.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
With in my clinical practice, I use mindfulness interventions in conjunction with other interventions.
