“My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients discover ways to make the changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental environment to warrant that they have a safe place to explore the issues that may be preventing them from living the life they want. I allow my clients the setting they need to process their thoughts and emotions. I incorporate the techniques within the theories of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Play Therapy to ensure that each client’s unique needs are met.”
Modalities: CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, Play Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy



I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, whether you’re navigating a specific challenge, seeking personal growth, or wanting to explore other aspects of your life. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel free to be your authentic self. Taking the first step requires courage, and I’m here to support you throughout your journey!


I specialize in trauma therapy but am also experienced in working with many mental health diagnoses amongst a very diverse demographic of clients. I received my undergraduate degree from Guilford College in 2005, majoring in Psychology. I spent some time as a case manager for persons with Developmental and Cognitive disabilities before pursuing my master’s degree at Capella University.
I graduated with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling in 2014. From there I worked as a Bereavement Counselor providing support and methods of coping with the loss of a loved one. I went on to work in outpatient mental health care where I treated clients with diagnosis’ such as Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Schizoaffective Disorder as well as those wanting assistance with stress management, boundary setting, assertiveness and/or improving their self-esteem.
I decided to attain more specialized training in trauma as I saw the need for such services. I have worked with clients who have experienced traumatic events including child or adulthood sexual abuse, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, emotional abuse, military trauma and significant losses such as the death of a loved one or divorce. I am certified in the following trauma-based therapy models; (EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with my clients. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples.
On a personal note, I am a single mother to one energetic and creative daughter. In my free time I enjoy traveling, spending time with loved ones, attending live shows and binge watching my favorite movies and television shows. I realize for some, entering counseling is not an easy decision so I try to be the best guide I possibly can be on this healing journey.
