I believe in establishing a relationship of trust in making counseling effective. My first priority is to get to know clients and seek to understand life from their perspective. From there I hope to help clients heal, grow and change. I seek to constantly grow as a counselor and be the best I can be for my clients. I have worked as a licensed counselor for over ten years helping people with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, marriage & family conflict, parenting, life transitions, and loss of purpose. My specialty is working with women and adolescent girls and I exclusively meet with females 12 and up. After graduating from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, I spent over a decade in full time youth ministry. During that time, I discovered my passion and gifts for counseling and began to pursue my degree. In reading this if you feel like we would be a good match, I would be honored to walk with you as you heal and grow.
