I am a native of North Carolina and have been providing counseling services to a wide variety of clients since 2008. I graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 2006 with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and from Campbell University in 2008 with my Master’s degree in Community Counseling. My professional background includes serving as a therapist and program director in community mental health settings and a women’s domestic violence shelter. I have also served as clinical director for local Critical Access Behavioral Health Agencies (CABHA).

Now in a private practice setting, I provide comprehensive clinical assessments and therapy for individuals of all ages.

Areas of Focus

• Teens: When meeting with teens, I try to meet them where they are and help parents with connecting with their child in a manner that improves their wellbeing.
