I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Liberty University in 2008 and my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology in 2013, and have been committed to fostering growth and healing ever since. My specialties include relationship counseling, Christian counseling, and working with first responders, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. Using evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, I focus on practical solutions that promote emotional well-being. Together, we will work to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can pursue your goals and move toward a more fulfilling life.
My Clients
I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the challenges of life while discovering hope and resilience. For nearly two decades, I have specialized in working with first responders, military, law enforcement professionals, and Christian clients. My goal is to provide a supportive experience where clients are encouraged and challenged to make meaningful changes.
