Great to meet you!

I began my academic journey in 2003, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. In 2018, I completed my Master of Arts degree in Counseling at Wake Forest University. This program is accredited by the American Counseling Association’s Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the nationally recognized agency for counseling graduate programs.

My approach to therapy

My counseling approach integrates principles from Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. In each session, I create an environment characterized by unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness. I guide clients through the exploration of their feelings and thoughts, and collaboratively developing solutions. Together, we will craft a plan that addresses your immediate needs and supports your long-term growth and well-being.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, it’s all about getting to know each other. This is your opportunity to learn more about me, and for me to understand a little about you. Our conversation will be a two-way street, ensuring that you feel empowered to express yourself openly and ask any questions you may have. My goal is to help you develop a sense of comfort and trust from the very beginning.
