While my journey as a mental health counselor began in 2023, I have offered individual and group care to men, women, and children of all ages and from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, races, and ethnicities for 20 years. In my previous roles as a case worker and ministry professional, I realized that many people recognized the healthy choices they wanted to make but felt powerless to do so. I entered the counseling field so that I could offer practical and evidence-based support to clients as they pursue healing and work to break the entrenched patters that keep them feeling stuck.

I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Trinity Washington University and my Bachelor’s degree from Duke University. I am trained in EMDR and will be fully certified in 2026. I have also received training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems practices, and I hold an Attachment Trauma specialist certificate.
