Counseling Style
My approach is to build caring and collaborative relationships with my clients to support them towards their desired goals. Each client is unique and my goal is to honor each person’s story and support them in identifying their next steps. At Deacon Health, I use Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, psychoeducation, and case management to advance the wellbeing of my clients. I have a passion for integrated care and addressing students’ holistic health.
Personal
I grew up in Miami, FL, but have called North Carolina home for the past 15 years. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, dog, Tucker, and cat, Penny. Our favorite family activities are hiking, exercise, and playing outside. I am a licensed foster parent and enjoy serving in the Kids Ministry each Sunday.
