Great to meet you!

I earned a BS in Psychology at Fayetteville State University, and MS in Addiction Counseling at Grand Canyon University. I have been in the mental health field since 2011, working in Group Homes, Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities, Intensive In-Home Services, Community Support Services, and Outpatient Therapy. I am currently treating adult clients with substance use issues. Clients with a co-occurring diagnosis are welcome, but the primary diagnosis must be substance-related.

My approach to therapy

I believe in evidence-based approaches as well as being empowering and non-judgemental. No one approach works for all clients. Building a therapeutic relationship with the client is key to being effective in meeting the client's needs.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will be about getting to know you first then together we will create an evidenced-based treatment plan as it relates to your challenges and goals. Expect me to be engaged, listen, provide reflection, and be direct when needed. I will ask questions and challenge your thoughts when needed.
