ABOUT ME
Listening. Collaboration. Compassion.
I'm on your team. As your therapist, my job is to help you achieve the change you want to see. We collaborate to set goals and work toward them together, in an environment of acceptance, listening, honesty, and compassion. Inherent in my approach is a commitment to tailoring therapy to meet the needs of my clients by incorporating a variety of techniques. I do this through the foundation of a collaborative, client-centered approach to Cognitive-Behavioral Theory (CBT) and mindfulness, always striving to create an environment of trust, warmth, kindness, and honesty. I also incorporate faith and spirituality for those clients wishing to do so. Working alongside clients every step of the way, I help them develop the awareness and agency to make lasting, positive change in their own lives.

BACKGROUND
I earned a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling at Wake Forest University, which is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). I also hold dual bachelor’s degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in English and religious studies. I have several years of professional marketing and communications experience in the nonprofit space prior to entering the counseling field. I maintain professional memberships in and am actively engaged with Northern Virginia Licensed Professional Counselors (NVLPC), American Counseling Association (ACA), the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC), and Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society.
TODAY
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I am also registered as a Telehealth Professional Counselor in South Carolina. I live in the Lake Norman area just north of Charlotte, NC with my husband and three young children. When I'm not working, you can usually find me keeping up with my kids, trying a new recipe, reading, baking bread, or serving in my community. To view my Psychology Today Profile, click here.
