My practice specializes in treating individuals (adolescents and adults) and couples in way that is that respects and values the uniqueness of each client, acknowledges the spiritual nature of all people, and seeks to empower them with the skills and hope to manage their own lives in the most effective way possible

As a therapist, it is a privilege to walk alongside people for part of their life journey, helping to discover their own God-given uniqueness, and recover their ability to effectively manage their own lives in the midst of an increasingly uncertain world.
I graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte with a Master’s Degree in Christian Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I am also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT) through the International Institute for Trauma & Addiction Professionals (IITAP).
