I appreciate your interest in working with me. I received my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from High Point University and my Master’s of Education in School Counseling from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I now practice as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.
As a former elementary school counselor and teacher, I have a strong understanding of the supports needed for students and parents to be successful. I believe that we all have individual strengths that we can use to thrive in all areas of our lives.
Populations Served:
Children, Adolescents, Young Adults, and Parent Coaching (ages 5+).
Areas of Specialization:
Anxiety, Depression, Emotional Regulation, School-Based Concerns, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Life Transitions, Self-Esteem, Sports Performance/Athletes, and Perfectionism.
Therapeutic Approaches:
In my sessions, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical approaches. I also incorporate elements of play and art therapy when working with children. I enjoy teaching practical coping skills that clients can apply outside of sessions. I take a holistic approach, believing that the mind and body work together to support overall well-being and performance.
I practice from a Person-Centered perspective, grounding my work in empathy and compassion. I believe that forming strong therapeutic relationships creates a safe and open space for growth. Using a Strengths-Based approach, I help clients recognize their unique abilities and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges.
We all face obstacles, and having the right tools makes a difference. Therapy is a meaningful space to gain those tools, build resilience, and learn more about yourself.
