Great to meet you!

I completed my Masters at Liberty University in clinical mental health counseling. I have worked in residential treatment for six years.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use a combination of CBT and EMDR therapy with individual clients as well as family systems when working with family units. I enjoy helping clients identify their goals and the specific steps they can take to achieving them.

What you can expect from our first session

I like to create a warm environment where clients feel safe to share about their past and current struggles. I enjoy helping clients reframe their experience and recognize where they may be thinking in unrealistic ways.
