Welcome to BetterHelp! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of North and South Carolina. I graduated from Liberty University in 2013. My approach to counseling is very eclectic and person centered. I am experience in the utilization of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Family Therapy (FT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and I also assist client with implementing forms of meditation into their daily lifestyle. My aim is to empower each person I am allowed to serve, and to assist them with understanding that each person has the ability to heal, cope, and/or adapt despite life's challenges. The power to create change is within each one of us, and my job is to assist you with that process. My counseling style is non-judgmental, multi-culturally sensitive, and empathic. I take a holistic approach to counseling in that we will consider internal and external influences on your thoughts feelings and emotions. When considering our feelings and emotions there must be consideration take to the mind and body connections and how they affect one another. Our relationships and family of origin also have tremendous effects on us because we don't exist in a bubble, but within systems and relationships which must be considered. It is my goal to empower you. Working with BetterHelp is a convenient way for you to receive the help and support that you need, right from home or wherever you are with a phone, tablet, or computer. It will be important for you to understand that while there are many benefits to receiving counseling, there are risks associated with it. Talking about difficult things may make you feel worse than when you started, but if you keep up with the commitment and do the work, it will get better over time. I look forward to working with you!

I work best with clients who are ready to explore patterns, build insight, and create meaningful change in their lives. My ideal clients include individuals and couples navigating Borderline Personality Disorder, neurodivergence, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional challenges that often accompany these experiences. I frequently work with people managing anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, sexually maladaptive behaviors, and relationship concerns. I value working with clients across the lifespan, from children to adults, who are open to collaboration and growth. My approach to therapy is eclectic, with a strong foundation in CBT, DBT, and Reality Therapy. Sessions are flexible, collaborative, and goal-focused, balancing a relaxed, down-to-earth vibe with professionalism, clear boundaries, and intentional progress. I work with clients ages 5 through 65. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially if you’ve had difficult experiences in the past or have learned to manage things on your own for a long time. Therapy does not require you to have everything figured out. It simply asks that you show up as you are.
