For most of my life I have called Southeastern NC home and I have a deep passion for the people of this area.  For much of that time I have used my time and energy in the professional world working in a business setting.  When not working I always found myself investing free time with people of my community.  Whether it has been through working directly with the youth at church, or providing support and education to various populations in the community, I have always found my greatest fulfillment in witnessing the development of others.

 

This fondness of people eventually led to the pursuit of a Masters in Counseling from Liberty University in order to properly make my passion my profession. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I have worked in the field for more than 10 years in various roles and specialties. I find great pleasure in helping individuals navigate challenges.  I focus on implementing skills and behaviors with clients to utilize in life.  These skills are to move individuals toward their goals of living an impactful life worth living that they desire.

 

Growing up in a military town with a vast range in population has been an asset to my life. I bring a varied life experience to meet you where you are. It has been frequently reported by clients, I am easy to identify with and authentic in my approach.  I have experience working with couples, and individuals ages 13 and up with many topics such as anxiety, stress, communication, and various marital issues. It is my desire to bring my love of people, love of place, life experience, education, and counseling experience to bring about the change or solution  a client seeks.
