About Me

I am a native of Eastern North Carolina with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including school systems, MCOs, and private practice. I find the private practice environment especially fulfilling, as it allows me to integrate my Christian faith into my work. One of the most rewarding aspects of my practice is witnessing my clients heal and grow through life's challenges. Their progress inspires me to continually pursue the latest clinical techniques and approaches. I am particularly passionate about working with attachment wounds and addressing complex trauma.

Education & Experience

I completed both my undergraduate and graduate studies at East Carolina University and have remained in Eastern NC throughout my career. However, I regularly seek out trainings and consultations beyond this region to continue advancing professionally. My ongoing growth is driven by a commitment to provide the best possible care for my clients.
