I have always wanted to help people. I’ve been able to do that in a variety of ways over the years. Working in domestic violence shelters, agencies that assist child sexual abuse survivors, in-home intensive substance abuse counseling...I’m privileged to have been able to help so many. It truly makes me happy. Now, I have my own practice after all of these years and I couldn’t be more excited to continue helping people; just in a much more enjoyable and comfortable setting. The therapists that work at Mandala are personally hired by me, and they are all wonderful and caring! You’re in great hands!

Hello! I am a mental skills coach and mental health counselor licensed in NC & FL. My primary specialty generally includes two groups: (1) athletes & (2) people struggling with past trauma.

Achieving goals becomes easier when they’re meaningful and connected to a reason and purpose — your “why.” When you connect your goal to a “why” a few things happen: You become hyper-focused on the goal by eliminating distractions or other tasks that are not in alignment with your desired outcome. Your vision and ideas become easier to outline, understand, and communicate because you’re intentionally focusing on the reason you want to do something and how it will impact you. It becomes easier to decide what you should and should not be doing because your priorities are connected to a purpose.

Stop scrolling! Did you know that counseling should not be something you DREAD, but something that you can look FORWARD to each week? By providing a safe & judgment-free space, it is my goal to help individuals & couples better navigate the tougher times. Negative ideas not only put us in a bad mood, but can leave us feeling helpless & defeated. It can often make small problems seem bigger & even create problems where none existed before. Money, relationships, and the "finer things" in life can only bring temporary fulfillment, but what you will learn in therapy will help support LASTING effects like peace, empowerment, & healing.
