I am a compassionate person, who currently serves as a Travel Social Worker, where I provide essential individual and group therapy to clients in need by focusing on clinical assessments and crisis interventions. I ensure that clients experiencing self-injurious behaviors receive ongoing support. My commitment to improving mental health is further highlighted by my role as Clinical Director at Pinnacle Point Supportive Services, where I was instrumental for 14 years. In this position, I overseen a team of therapists, facilitate therapy sessions for both children and adults, and engage in court-related matters. With a strong foundation in therapy and clinical supervision, I have developed skills in treatment planning, documentation, and quality assurance.
I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS) in North Carolina, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine. I am also a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. My counseling style is grounded in a nonjudgmental, cognitive-behavioral approach. I believe in taking the time to truly understand each client’s perspective and collaborating to find practical, meaningful solutions that fit their life. My goal is to help clients build insight, develop effective tools that lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
As a child, adolescent and adult counselor, I am passionate about helping others through life's challenges. My goal is to provide a safe space to support growth, transparency, and change. I work with individuals, families and couples to facilitate goals, provide coping skills, and improve overall understanding of how to utilize these in everyday life, school, and home. Before becoming an LPC I was a certified Pastoral Counselor specializing in marriage. Certification was from Liberty University in 2008.
After retiring from the Army, I went back to school to obtain my masters of Social Work to help others who suffer from trauma and depression. My biggest inspiration for wanting to help others is the help that I have received along the way. It was after seeing my therapist who helped to guide me through gender, dysphoria, and my transition, that I begin my path that has led me here, wanting to help others. My guiding philosophy is that you deserve to treat yourself as good if not better than anyone else. When you feel good, others will feel good too.
You've already taken a brave step by being here. As a licensed therapist with over 6
years of experience, I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD, working
with adolescents and adults through CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Cognitive
Processing Therapy. Choosing therapy means choosing yourself, and I am honored to
walk that journey with you, bringing genuine hope, empowerment, and healing.
I am the CEO and founder of The Ultimate Choice Consulting, LLC, and TUCC Initiative, a nonprofit organization. I am an experienced clinician who is always looking for ways to grow and strengthen my therapeutic skills. I currently hold credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, and Certified Mediator.
