Life can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person we want to be. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling lost, my goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.
I believe that healing begins with understanding. Many of us spend years fighting against our thoughts, emotions, or behaviors without ever understanding why they developed in the first place. My passion is helping people understand their brain so they can stop fighting themselves and start working with themselves. When we understand how our mind and nervous system are trying to protect us, we can begin responding with greater compassion, confidence, and intention. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices while remaining warm, collaborative, and personalized to each individual's unique story. I enjoy helping clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system so they can develop practical tools for lasting change. I earned my bachelor's degree from Louisiana State University in 2009 and later followed a calling to pursue a career in counseling, earning my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. My own life experiences have deepened my belief that healing is possible and that no one should have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you're facing anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns, or a season of uncertainty, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you. Together, we'll work to better understand your experiences, discover your strengths, and build a path toward healing and growth.

Holding a deep appreciation and respect for psychotherapy, I support each of my clients with the ideal balance of nurturance and firmness that is often necessary to accomplish deep personal work. I am able to do my best work with clients who match my full commitment to the therapeutic process because that is where true change occurs and the biggest rewards are found.
I possess a true passion for my work with clients, which is evident in my unwavering commitment to their success. I recognize how terrifying it can be to face deeply rooted issues, so I work hard to establish a safe therapeutic environment with attention to everything from the office experience to how fully present I am in each of my client's sessions. I place premium value on collaborative efforts between clients and therapists, meaning we join together to meet your goals. Real therapy and especially deep personal work is intense and requires vulnerability, trust, and hard work in order to create and maintain life long changes. I primarily approach my work from the therapy perspectives of EMDR, sandtray, and ego state work, which includes an emphasis on how unconscious psychological processes may be related to current patterns of relating, feeling, and behaving. I am an out-of-the box creative thinker who uses a variety of therapeutic techniques to facilitate the healing process, including deep inner child work or parts work, art therapy techniques, and role play. I additionally enjoy working with professional therapists who are interested in and committed to their own therapy work or case consultation. |
