As a counselor, I believe every person has a story worth hearing. II am passionate about providing empathic, individualized, and ethical care, meeting each client with curiosity and respect. I start by focusing on working together to uncover the strengths you already possess and can use as tools to face challenges and create lasting change. II take the time to listen to your story and learn about who you are as an individual so that I can tailor my counseling approach for you.

 

I combine a trauma informed, solutions focused, and strengths-based approach utilizing a variety of evidence-based interventions and approach including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and relational therapies.

ABOUT

Nature Lover ·  Mom. Book Collector · Wanna-be Baker ·  Recipe Experimenter

Outside of the office, I am usually chasing my daughter around a park or the house, making (and tasting) new recipes successes and disasters, or spending time on a trail in nature. As a lifelong West Virginian and Appalachian enthusiast, I love to find new nature spots around the state to explore. I am a single mom to an energetic toddler and understand firsthand the challenges of balancing life, parenting, and personal growth. I prioritize self-care in my own life and find the time to do the things I love so that I can stay focus and present in both my professional and person life.
