Approach: My approach to therapy is goal oriented and focuses on the entire individual and support system. I believe in a client centered approach which considers each individuals personality and background. I also focus my treatment with a “rational” approach which examines undesirable and destructive thought patterns. I am also a Certified Hypnotist/Hypnotherapist and see clients who seek to make changes using hypnosis (such as weight loss, smoking cessation, removing insomnia, sports performance improvement among many other things).
Personal Statement: I began working to help others at a young age of 17. I spent 7 summers during my education working as a counselor for adolescents at a summer camp. I pursued my desire to help people by completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and my Master’s Degree in Counseling. I believe everyone has difficulties and struggles in life and we can all benefit for taking the time to improve ourselves which in turn provides the opportunity for a positive, well-adjusted and happy life.

Approach: The counseling process is aimed to empower you and promote your own wellness. We will confront any concerns you may have and promote any desired positive behavioral changes that best benefit you. The counseling process aims to help you make realistic vocational choices and to resolve problems in an individualized creative manner tailored for you. I view the counseling relationship as a collaborative effort, between counselor and client. I use an integrative approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy for helping you achieve any goals you may have in counseling. I am also trained as an Art Therapist if you feel you will benefit from this. I strive to help you make your own decisions and to empower you to achieve your interpersonal goals through a collaborative effort.
Personal Statement: I believe the most beneficial element of counseling is a positive working relationship between counselor and client. I was inspired to become a counselor due to someone in my life establishing a positive working relationship with me. This individual helped me help myself in a time of need. I wish to be able to help others in the same way.

Licensed Professional Counselor Intern
Graduate School: Liberty University
Degree & License: Master's Degree in Counseling, Licensed Professional Counselor Intern
Specialties: Holistic, Person-Centered, Integrational, Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Grief & Loss
Populations Served: I work with adolescents and adults.
Approach: Life presents seasons that can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and heavy. We each carry a unique story—chapters we cherish, and chapters we are ready to set down and rewrite. My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered, honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit. Because no two journeys are identical, therapy is collaboratively tailored to your individual values, strengths, and goals.
I believe you already hold innate resilience; my role is to walk alongside you, helping you access internal insights and equipping you with practical strategies to navigate life’s complexities. For clients seeking to integrate their spiritual values into healing, I also offer faith-based Christian counseling upon request.
Personal Statement: "Grow through what you go through."
Growth often mirrors tending a garden: meaningful cultivation requires clearing the rocks, pulling the weeds, and occasionally letting the soil rest before new life can take root. Therapy provides the space and tools for that work—honoring the entire process so you can fully experience the reward of a grounded, purposeful life.
