ABOUT ME

Creating a connection is core to my approach to counseling. I work from a multitude of theoretical frameworks including person-centered, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral, family systems, and solution focused. Much of my experience has been helping individuals and families find balance in their lives and re-focus their energies on values important to them.

​

Oftentimes we find ourselves overwhelmed, and we're not quite sure why. Sometimes we wish for more, yet it never seems to be enough. I'd like to support you in giving yourself permission to unload what you're bearing and join you on your journey to a better tomorrow.

I work with children beginning at age 12 and adults of all ages from Gen Z to Baby Boomers. My specialties include couples, families, aspirational entrepreneurs, and busy working professionals.

​

I graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Minor in Business Administration.  I received a Master’s of Science degree in School Counseling with a special concentration in Community Mental Health from Mercer University.  I have had experience in a variety of settings including public and private schools, a nonprofit youth organization, a family counseling agency, and private practice.  

​

I come from a blended family with two older brothers and four younger stepsisters. Counseling was extremely beneficial for me as I adjusted to my changing family.  I have spent much of my life listening to others, accepting them for who they are, and joining them on their journeys.  Becoming a therapist myself became a natural pathway for me to continue my own journey.  

​

I am a mother to two boys who love to keep me on my toes.  I enjoy hiking in the mountains, reading, traveling to new places, satisfying my perfectionism with an efficiently packed car, watching the same movies over and over, camping, and being immediately gratified by online shopping.
