Life can be filled with pain, loss, confusion, and fear. I understand counseling as a process that honors these challenges and fosters hope. I utilize a relational, holistic, and strengths-based approach to help individuals cope with hardships, heal from trauma, and see their worth. I am passionate about women’s issues and working with people from historically marginalized groups. My work also focuses on perinatal mental health, where I am certified (PMH-C) to provide support to individuals from pregnancy to parenthood. 

 

I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina State University, where I focused on providing culturally-sensitive counseling to adolescents and adults. I am now a licensed professional counselor in Virginia.

 

I celebrate and respect each person’s identity, life experiences, and strengths. Each day I am given the gift of supporting people through their hardships and celebrating their growth.  I will cherish the opportunity to hold space for your struggles and support you toward a healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life.
