Hi there! You’ve already taken one of the hardest steps toward a healthier life by being here. That takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here.
I believe every person has inherent dignity, worth, and the capacity for growth. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you pursue healing, hope, and meaningful change.
I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Regent University School of Psychology and Counseling. My graduate training included a concentration in spirituality and was grounded in the belief, “To God alone be the glory.” That perspective continues to shape my work today. I approach counseling with humility, recognizing that healing can occur in many ways, and I am honored to use my clinical training in service to others with compassion, respect, and evidence based care.
I welcome individuals from all faiths, spiritual traditions, cultural backgrounds, and those who do not identify with a religion. Whether faith is central to your life or not, therapy will be tailored to your values, beliefs, culture, and personal goals. If you would like to incorporate spirituality into your care, I am honored to support that part of your journey.
During my clinical training, I specialized in healthy relationships, including domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. I also have extensive experience in suicide prevention, crisis intervention, behavioral health, anxiety, depression, trauma, moral injury, grief and loss, relationship concerns, neurodiversity, parenting skills, individuals with special needs and their family members, LGBTQ+ concerns, and major life transitions.
Life can be unpredictable—and sometimes overwhelming. Whether you’re adjusting to a major life change, navigating the challenges of parenting, or feeling weighed down by anxiety or depression, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you make sense of what you’re feeling and find your footing again. With over 13 years of experience, I work with adults and adolescents to explore what’s going on beneath the surface and help you build tools to move forward.

Clients should know that I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental, and confidential space where they can feel heard and understood. I believe in building trust through empathy, active listening, and honest communication. My approach is client-centered, meaning I work collaboratively to help individuals identify goals, develop coping strategies, and navigate personal challenges at their own pace.

As someone who has been both a client and therapist, I encourage you to tell and develop your own story. In my personal and professional life I have witnessed: family struggles, mental illness, substance use, domestic violence, trafficking, and grief; and I am a firm believer that this does not define you. It takes courage to seek support during difficult times, & I want to help empower clients in using their own strengths tp develop skills to foster hope, healing, and resilience.
I am passionate about helping clients cultivate greater balance, vitality, and overall well-being in their lives. I have experience working with individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, disordered eating, substance use disorders, and insomnia. I earned my degree from Hunter College in New York City, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care.
My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.
