My passion is to help empower and motivate others to seek personal growth and positive life changes. I provide a supportive and safe environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist whose passion is to help empower and motivate others to seek personal growth and positive life changes. I provide a supportive and safe environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your specific story. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Marshall University in West Virginia. I graduated with my master’s degree in Counselor Education/Marriage and Family Therapy from the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) accredited Stetson University in Florida. I completed my residency for licensure in Northern Virginia working in both outpatient mental health and intensive in-home settings. Additionally, I have worked as a high school counselor. In 2019, I opened my Private Practice, S.T.E.P. into Wellness, LLC.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving, in your relationships and within yourself. I believe treatment should emphasize the whole individual and therefore focuses on mental, emotional, physical, and social health to enhance their overall well-being. I collaborate with each client to help identify and understand their challenges and tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the client’s specific needs and treatment goals. I focus on client strengths and encourages clients to engage in strategies outside of therapy sessions in order to progress towards their goals. I believes a positive mind set is essential in creating a healthier balance and striving towards endless possibilities.
