I am a LCSW practicing in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC since 2010. Therapy is an opportunity for learning and growth, and I have witnessed amazing outcomes for individuals who worked hard in treatment to elicit positive personal change. I have extensive experience as a Crisis Clinician in Emergency Departments, an outpatient therapy provider, a Mobile Crisis Clinician, a Health Coach, and an Employee Assistance Program therapist. I am equipped to provide clinical supervision for associate professionals seeking licensure through the NC Social Work Certification and Licensure Board.
My passions include helping others to solve problems; as well as deal with various challenges including trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, faith crises, abandonment wounds, and identity experiences; all while promoting integrity and respect. My focus of practice through Appalachian Therapy Services, PLLC is working primarily with adults.
I particularly enjoy working with first responders, law enforcement, young adults, aging populations and athletes. I love working with anyone who is truly invested in their own healing, and I would be honored to be a part of your journey. My therapy assistant (dogs) may often be seen quietly snoozing in the background during online sessions.

I tell my clients that the pressure should completely be on me during our initial session. I want you to feel comfortable as I guide you in exploring the reasons you have decided to begin therapy. I will develop a treatment plan that I refer to as our "roadmap". During the next session, I will provide you with diagnostic impressions and we will jump right into our work together.
