Bio
Clinical Interests
My clinical experience spans all age groups, with a distinct interest in working with individuals in emerging adulthood, particularly as they navigate life transitions and adjustments. My additional interests include supporting those with traumatic experiences, including individuals with lived experience of human and sex trafficking, and exploring attachment concerns. I also focus on identity development and fostering healthy relationships within a therapeutic context. Furthermore, I am actively exploring opportunities to supervise and mentor pre-licensed mental health professionals.
Counseling Style
I believe in personalized care and focus on empowering others to make well-informed and self-determined decisions about their mental health care. I utilize person-centered and solution-focused approaches by leaning on cognitive-behavioral and reality-based techniques. I pride myself on relatability and providing a non-judgmental safe space for individuals to process, learn, and gain new perspectives on life.
Personal
In my free time I enjoy spending time with family, friends and my dog. I enjoy active yet simple activities such as: bowling, miniature golf, axe-throwing, sight-seeing, nature-watching, etc. I love a good southern meal, nature documentaries, corny comedies, and giraffes.
