Profile :
I am a co-occurring mental health and substance use counselor working out of our Red Bud office. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a double Bachelor’s in Psychology and criminal justice, as well as, a Master’s in clinical mental health counseling.

I am well versed in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Moral Recognition Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Utilizing a client-centered approach, I am passionate about meeting clients where they are at to better develop skills necessary to cope with problems within their lives. I do not limit my scope of practice to any single demographic, seeing a variety of clients in both mental health and substance use as well as children, adolescents, adults, LGBTQIA+ population, etc.

Additionally, I have experience working with various issues including but not limited to mood disorders; trauma, grief, and loss; gender dysphoria and transitioning; family stress and functional communication; and neurocognitive disorders including ADHD and autism. I firmly believe in expanding my skill set and knowledge to best provide services to my entire client population.

Counseling can be a very vulnerable, unique experience, and I prioritize establishing a strong therapeutic relationship to ensure clients are comfortable throughout the amazing journey that counseling is.
