I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

Charleston, SC - Accepting clients in NC

I help Christian women unravel the confusion of emotionally and spiritually abusive marriages-whether you're still unsure, just beginning to question, or already walking away. There's space here for your story, your faith, and your healing. You don’t need another professional voice telling you how to heal. You need someone who knows—someone who has walked through the fire, crawled through the ashes, and fought to reclaim her own life. That’s why I’m here. I don’t offer band-aid solutions or quick fixes. I offer truth, courage, and a way forward. I will sit with you in the mess, wade through the lies that have kept you stuck, and help you rebuild what was stolen. If you’re exhausted from carrying the weight of expectations, fear, and silent suffering—I see you. And I’m not afraid to go with you where others have refused to go. You’re not just getting counseling—you’re getting a lifeline. A mirror to see yourself clearly again. A way out when everything in you says you’re stuck forever. Because you’ve been told you have to stay. That this is your burden to bear. That suffering in silence is somehow holy. But it’s not. And I know that agony—the cherished tears that come from realizing everything you fought for is crushing you instead of saving you. The grief of knowing you lost yourself somewhere along the way. But hear me: You are not too far gone. This space? It was made for you. A place where the raw, the sacred, the unspoken are all welcome. Where you can breathe again. Where you can break apart and break free. You don’t have to stay in the darkness. You were meant for so much more. If you’re ready to dig yourself out, let’s begin.

Originally from Tidewater, Virginia, I graduated from Calvin College with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication and earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. During my counseling internship, I focused on the effective use of telehealth treatment with the adolescent population. I am skilled in the treatment of substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and co-occurring disorders such as depression and trauma. My previous positions with Synergy Counseling LLC, Caron Treatment Center’s Northern Virginia location, and most recently, New Paradigm Recovery, have given me years of experience working in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient settings. These experiences have honed my specialization in the treatment of co-occurring substance use disorders and PTSD. My passion for working with clients suffering from unresolved trauma and clinically treatable PTSD led me to obtain training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the EMDRIA-approved Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy in January 2022.

If you recently lost a loved one through death or a traumatic breakup, you are likely in the grieving process. You may be overwhelmed by waves of emotion or feel like the rug has been pulled from beneath your feet and you have not yet found solid ground. Traumatic loss abruptly changes everything. Your world will never be the same as it was, but you can find a new way forward. I specialize in helping courageous people process deep emotions and get through grief while finding purpose in life. Healing from loss takes time and deep emotional work. Over the past 8 years as a Hospice social worker and Bereavement therapist, I’ve witnessed healing from grief complicated by conflicted relationships, medical trauma and underlying mental health challenges. Often, we get stuck in circular thoughts that produce feelings of guilt or regret as we replay scenes wishing we could go back in time. Together we can work assess places where you may be stuck and unlock compassion and growth. If you are looking for a counselor who can provide you support, education, resources and unconditional positive regard, please reach out to me. You do not have to go through this alone.

San Antonio, TX - Accepting clients in NC

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) with over 15 years of experience in mental health. My career spans various roles, including program therapist for inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, manager of a geriatric behavioral health unit in a rural community, and as department director in a critical care mental health hospital. Throughout my years in the field, I noticed that many individuals struggling with mental health challenges lacked essential skills—whether in communication, emotional regulation, or behavioral management. This realization led me to establish my private practice, where I focus on equipping individuals with evidence-based skills to enhance their mental well-being.

Charleston, FL - Accepting clients in NC

Do you treat yourself poorly when you make a mistake or experience failure? Do you often notice that you have self-critical thoughts and beliefs? Do you have past experiences or traumas that may be hindering your ability to practice self-compassion? Feelings are sometimes hard to explain and even harder to deal with. Understanding why you feel a certain way can help you regain control over yourself and how you respond. My passion is helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions understand their feelings better and how to control their impulses.
