I came to this work because of my love of listening, my deep and sincere faith in the human spirit, and my interest in healing and transformation. I love being with my clients and supporting them in their growth. I am moved and inspired every day by the people I have the honor of working with, and I cherish each and every one of our unique relationships.
I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 2006, and my master’s degree in Counseling from St. Edward’s University in 2013. I have worked with children, adolescents, and their families; homeless adults; adults struggling with substance abuse; couples; and groups in agency and hospital settings. I currently see individual women, men, and non-binary adults from a diverse range of backgrounds and life experiences.
I’m a person and a therapist who is committed to doing my own work, too. I’m devoted to expanding and deepening my self- growth and awareness as much as possible. Additionally, I attend a monthly study group and a monthly consultation meeting facilitated by a senior attachment psychotherapist, as well as two separate and regular peer-consultation groups with trusted and respected colleagues. I also relish staying as current as possible on the latest research and literature regarding what facilitates healing and well-being.
In addition to my life-long love of learning, my extensive life experience, and my 11-year meditation practice, I also draw from my deep reverence for nature, dancing, yoga, creativity, and laughter in my work.
