I have over 14 years of combined experience in mental health and education, and I am currently practicing as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I work with individuals who want to understand the patterns and experiences shaping their lives. I bring curiosity, steadiness, and a creative approach to help clients explore themselves and gain clarity.

 

I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from Western Carolina University and a Master of Fine Arts in Poetry from Colorado State University. I have taught creative writing and other courses in higher education for five years in both North Carolina and Colorado. Throughout my work, I have collaborated with others to uncover how creative expression can provide a pathway to self-discovery and insight. Currently, I am deepening my understanding of modern psychoanalytic approaches through classes at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis, integrating these insights into my counseling practice.
