About

After completing my undergraduate Degree in Media Communications at Asbury University, I spent a year working alongside at-risk youth in inner-city Houston where my desire to become a counselor began. Upon leaving Houston, I moved back Charlotte to be close to family and pursue a Masters In Clinical Mental Health at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. During that time utilized my creative abilities to teach high school photography, full time video edit, and freelance local photography and videography. Upon graduating with my masters and becoming licensed, I worked in community-based services for more than 4 years, counseling teens and at-risk youth and their families in the Charlotte area. During my time, I gained a wealth of knowledge in clinical care, confidence in myself as a new clinician and, developed a love for in home therapy and higher levels of care. Even though my desire to own my own practice led me to step down fully from community based services, I still continue to clinically lead an intensive in home team with a local organization in Charlotte on my days when I am not in the office. On the weekends you can almost always find me hanging out with my husband, hiking, eating my way though the city—and making up for it on the Peloton—or constantly laughing at my goofy Sheepadoodle named Pepper—I have high hopes that one day she will be chill enough to be my therapy assistant.
