About Me

Welcome to Virtual Horizons Counseling Services — a safe and supportive online space for adults seeking healing from trauma, PTSD, and mood-related challenges. As a board-certified, licensed therapist with advanced training in EMDR therapy, I specialize in helping clients process deep emotional pain and rediscover their sense of safety and self. I provide culturally sensitive care, honoring the unique experiences and backgrounds each person brings to the therapy room. All sessions are held online, making it easy for you to access expert support from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Virtual EMDR therapy is as effective as in-person care, with added benefits—no commutes, flexible scheduling, and often a deeper sense of emotional safety. I am licensed in Florida and North Carolina and hold telehealth privileges in South Carolina, offering specialized trauma care throughout these states. For those who value it, I can incorporate Christian faith-based values into EMDR therapy to align your healing journey with your spiritual beliefs. Whether you’re working through childhood trauma, relationship wounds, or overwhelming life events, my goal is to walk alongside you—helping you move from survival to strength and reclaim the connection, clarity, and hope you deserve.

Education & Experience

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and am a Board-Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board for Certified Counselors. I have completed specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, equipping me to help clients process and heal from the deep impact of trauma. In addition to my clinical work, I have served for more than a decade as a women’s life group leader and speaker in church communities, offering support and guidance through seasons of grief, resilience, and growth. My combined academic training, professional certifications, and lived experience allow me to provide culturally responsive, compassionate care in every session.
