Hi there!

I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University.  Throughout grad school I was a member of the Lambda Rho Chi chapter of Chi Sigma Iota, the international counseling honor society. I completed my undergraduate education at University of North Carolina at Asheville, where I graduated cum laude with degrees in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Applied Ethics and Sociology.

​

Some of my areas of interest include: women’s issues, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, Bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and panic disorders. I am is enthusiastic about working with diverse demographics and clients from all walks of life.  My approach to counseling is a holistic, wellness-based perspective that emphasizes treating the cause of distress rather than the symptoms. I believe in customizing my approach to therapy based on the specific needs of the client, rather than following a strict formula. I am also influenced by humanistic theories of counseling, particularly the tenets of empathy, authenticity, and treating clients with unconditional positive regard.

​

In my free time, you can find me at the spin studio, cooking up a storm in my kitchen, or trying to catch up on my book club's pick of the month.  My favorite place in the world is wherever my husband, baby boy, and sweet pups Finn and Molly happen to be.
