About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor, providing individual counseling to students on campus at Liberty University. Each semester I offer a Schema Therapy Process Group, in which we explore ingrained beliefs about the self that affect how we relate to others and form unhealthy patterns. Additionally, I am seeking training and supervision to become a Certified Schema Therapist through the International Society of Schema Therapy. My primary job as a clinician is to help my clients meet their individual goals of therapy as they work towards healing. This process often involves using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-focused Therapy, and Schema Therapy. In the early stages of therapy, clients may take assessments to identify schemas and core beliefs. During sessions, early adverse experiences are explored as I help my clients uncover the roots of their issues, articulate their needs, and learn how to get those needs met today in healthy ways. Some homework is generally assigned between sessions, when applicable. I am also able to provide EMDR and other experiential interventions, where appropriate.
