I received a Masters of Mental Health Counseling Degree from the Washington School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, and a BA in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I have experience working with children, teens, individuals and people with disabilities in a variety of settings.

My approach to counseling is to focus on the strengths and help to assist with solutions rather than telling what to do. For adults and adolescents, my focus is to address short-term problems as well as long-term psychological well-being. The more you can tell me what and how you are feeling, the more effectively I will be able to assist you in resolving your personal problems and issues. I am trained in many different treatment approaches and certifications in EMDR, Life Span Integration, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gender Identity Treatment and Assessments. It is my approach to discuss these various approaches and let you participate in choosing the ones that are most appropriate for you.
