Life can be overwhelming—especially when you're facing anxiety, depression, past trauma, or the weight of daily stress. If you're feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure where to turn, you're not alone. Reaching out for support is a powerful first step, and I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped to move forward. Developing knowledge of specific techniques related to patterns and cycles of behavior is a major contributing force of my passion for therapy.
As a resident in counseling with over 15 years of experience working with individuals and families across Southwestern Virginia. As a lifelong Virginian, I understand the unique challenges of rural life and how important it is to have access to compassionate, down-to-earth mental health care. I provide therapy for adults, children, and teens.
I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, psychotherapy, and motivational interviewing to help clients break through mental blocks, build resilience, and improve overall functioning.
