I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. I also have achieved status as a Virginia Board Approved Supervisor for LPC and LMFT Residents. I hold a Master in Science degree from North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I also obtained a certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy during graduate studies. I have served clients in the outpatient and community setting. My initial experience was established by providing Intensive In-Home services for at-risk youth and families in the home setting. I have progressed to conducting client comprehensive assessments and have established an outpatient therapy caseload. As a Clinical Supervisor at a community-based facility, I provide clinical supervision to Qualified Mental Health Professionals, review and maintain compliance, and assist with other leadership tasks.

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

The first session will consist of a free-flowing psycho-social assessment. My goal at the end of the first session is to gain an understanding of the onset, duration, and frequency of your symptoms. I also strive to see beyond the symptoms and gain a greater understanding of you, the person.

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

My greatest strength as a provider is simply keeping it real. I believe in meeting the clients where they are while establishing and maintaining a healthy and therapeutic alliances. I also strive to assist clients with connecting the dots to see the bigger picture. Through this process, the goal is to empower clients to create their own destinies.
