Our lives can be a beautiful albeit messy adventure. Sometimes, we find ourselves struggling & need to reach out for help. I offer an encompassed approach to counseling, customizing the experience for adults, children, teens, families, & couples. If you are struggling with depression or are dealing with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety or self-esteem problems, we can chart a client specific course to wellness. If at home, you are dealing with issues in your marriage/partnership, Domestic Violence (verbal, physical, financial, or emotional abuse) or have suffered sexual trauma, we can work together to find safe solutions.
I graduated with a Master's Degree from Lenoir Rhyne University in 1996. Since then I have worked closely with victims of domestic violence, sexual assault as well as children within the foster system that had been abused & neglected. My foundational belief is that each person is a beautiful individual worthy of becoming their very best self.
Everyone deserves to be heard, to be cared for, and to have an advocate working with them to reach further and stand stronger. This is my job and my passion. We are all a part of the larger community and together we can help each other become our best selves ever. I look forward to meeting you. Your therapist, My client, Our team.
