I am a graduate of LaGrange College, where I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I have additional training in crisis and trauma from Liberty University. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including individuals impacted by sex trafficking and sexual assault, domestic abuse, postpartum depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, and a variety of other traumatic experiences. In all of my work, I utilize a person-centered approach, allowing each individual to take the lead in their healing journey while feeling safe, seen, heard, and accepted.
In addition to a person-centered framework, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support small, intentional changes that lead to long-term healing and personal growth. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who are navigating challenges such as body image, self-esteem, peer pressure, relationships, suicidal ideation, grief and loss, emotional regulation, anxiety, and stress management. I also enjoy working with people facing depression, postpartum depression, life transitions, racial stressors, trauma, and physical and/or sexual abuse.
I believe that all people deserve to be heard and seen. When individuals are given the space and time they need, healing and growth are possible. One of the most meaningful ways I show up for others is by listening and providing a safe, nonjudgmental environment where truths can be realized, actions can be taken, and self-love can grow. I want everyone to know that they are loved and that they matter, regardless of what brings them to the counseling office.
Always remember that the world is better because you are here.
