"As a survivor of domestic violence, I bring a deep personal understanding of how trauma shapes a person’s life, which fuels my passion for empowering others with compassion, hope, and guidance as they reclaim their voice, rebuild confidence, and move forward with resilience."

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 2 years of experience providing mental health services to adults and children in telehealth and agency settings. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change in their lives.

I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Troy University. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care to support emotional regulation, insight, and healthy coping skills.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. I am committed to meeting you where you are and helping you build clarity, stability, and resilience at your own pace. When you are ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take the next step in your healing journey.

"I believe education and understanding surrounding diagnoses, symptoms, and treatment techniques are essential to feeling better and gaining control of your life, thoughts, and well-being."
