I graduated from a CACREP program for Clinical Mental Health Counseling in the state of Virginia. After I completed my degree, I worked for my local hospital in the child and adolescent psych unit as well as the addiction recovery unit. My training also involved working in private practice and in church settings.
I became licensed in 2021 and have worked full time in private practice since then, primarily with women and teenage girls. My treatment focus has been primarily CBT and I enjoy helping people with anxiety, depression, OCD, panic attacks, postpartum, and adjusting to adulthood. With Cognitive behavioral therapy, I encourage clients to learn their thought patterns so they can detach from it and change to a more helpful way of thinking. I enjoy giving practical steps to practice outside of session to help my clients feel confident in their skills to manage their feelings and thoughts. Coping skills are also highly encouraged and by the end of counseling, my clients will be able to know skills to help them manage their moods.
