When life feels as though its weight is getting too heavy to carry or too chaotic to regain control, I can meet you where you are and help you find your strength again through evidence-based practice. I believe the most important role as a therapist is supporting and assisting individuals to grow and develop into the best versions of themselves through a strengths-based, client-centered approach, focusing on thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. This includes practices such as CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to the needs of the individual.

I have experience in areas such as anxiety, depression, substance use, life transitions, and grief and loss. I graduated from the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work concentrating in Mental Health and Trauma in August and trained as an intern at an in-patient substance abuse facility. I completed my undergraduate degree at Clemson University majoring in Psychology. Since graduation, I have been working in a substance use setting as a counselor.

I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adler University. I completed Social Justice Training with a Non-Profit organization in Augusta, Ga. In addition, I completed a year-long internship training at an In-patient Residential Substance Abuse Treatment Center in Augusta, Ga.  My training includes working with very diverse populations and utilizing multicultural counseling competencies to promote equity and inclusion in my work. I have served clients with a wide range of presenting concerns such as substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, PTSD, and other co-occurring disorders.

Some of the primary therapeutic orientations I focus on while working with clients include but are not limited to utilizing a cognitive-behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapy approach. However, I feel tailoring the approach sometimes works best based on the needs and personality of the client.

My goals in treatment are to provide a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable working through issues and concerns that they are experiencing. I believe it is important to support clients in setting goals, learning how to problem solve, and developing coping skills. I feel this is accomplished best when an effective and positive therapeutic alliance that creates a unique experience for each client has been established.
