Get To Know Me
What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
I know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make the process feel as comfortable and approachable as possible. I believe therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating or last forever. My focus is on helping you identify what's keeping you stuck, build practical skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Clients often describe me as warm, direct, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I'll meet you with compassion and without judgment, while also challenging you when it will help you grow. I believe in being honest, collaborative, and solution-focused, and I like to bring humor into sessions when it's appropriate.
I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Together, we'll create a plan that fits your goals, your strengths, and your life.
My goal isn't to keep you in therapy forever—it's to help you gain the confidence, insight, and tools you need so you can move forward feeling more capable of handling life's challenges on your own!

Professional Background
LicensureNorth Carolina, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - Supervisor, 12168
Education
Western Carolina University, Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2015
Work HistoryMy experience in the mental health field has allowed me to work with adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use. Throughout my career, I have worked in both community mental health, the hospital, and outpatient settings, supporting individuals through everyday struggles as well as more complex mental health needs.
Much of my experience has involved helping people during some of the most difficult times in their lives, including those experiencing emotional crises, overwhelming stress, suicidal thoughts, substance use concerns, and significant life changes. This work has strengthened my ability to remain calm, provide practical support, and help clients create clear, manageable steps toward feeling better.
Over the years, I have developed a solution-focused approach that combines evidence-based strategies with genuine compassion. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered—not judged. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you feeling stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools you can use outside of our sessions.
