About

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I'm licensed in West Virginia with 3 years of professional clinical work experience. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC #1584398) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP #265640).

Educational Background: I graduated from West Virginia University with a B.A. in Psychology, Southern New Hampshire University with a M.S. in Developmental Psychology, and a M.S. degree in Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from West Virginia University.

At this time, I am only able to provide services to West Virginia residents who are currently in the state of West Virginia at the time of service. I am unable to see non-West Virginia residents and West Virginia residents who are outside of the state at the time of service. I do not provide Christian-based counseling or work with anyone under the age of 18 years old.

I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, improving motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I will give you the tools that you will use to reach your goals. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

My counseling style is laid back and compassionate. I enjoy using an appropriate sense of humor in my sessions. I like to focus on identifying your personal strengths and helping you to utilize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you understand what it is you're going through. I am also here to help you work through difficult things so you can make the most appropriate decision for yourself at this time in your life. I offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment.
