Great to meet you!

I’ve been working in the mental health field for nearly a decade and bring a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I hold a Master’s Degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Marshall University in Huntington, WV. These academic foundations, combined with years of hands-on experience, have shaped my compassionate, informed, and client-centered approach to therapy.

Most recently I was serving as a Licensed Clinical Therapist where I provided individual and group therapy in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. I am currently working at a small group practice treating adults with stress, anxiety, depression, ptsd, and more. I hold sessions on the weekend and in the morning one a week.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of authentic connection. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore difficult emotions, build insight, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I am a licensed therapist committed to a compassionate, client-centered approach to healing. I work with individuals facing overwhelming experiences, significant life transitions, or patterns of behavior that no longer serve them. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and mindfulness techniques, I help clients navigate some of life’s most difficult challenges.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're seeking relief, clarity, or a new beginning, I am here to walk alongside you as you build the life you envision. Through our work together, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, along with practical strategies to help you navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Clients often walk away from sessions feeling more grounded, empowered, and equipped with tools for healing, growth, and lasting change.
