I am a graduate of Liberty University. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated from Fayetteville University with a B. S. in Business Administration and from Liberty University with a master’s degree in Human Services with a concentration in Marriage and Family Counseling. After receiving a degree in Human Services, I realized that I wanted to broaden my scope to enable me to serve a more diverse population. I am aspiring to become a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC).
As I strive to reach this goal, I am actively under the supervision of Southeast Counseling Services, LLC. My belief is that therapy is a collaborative process that can guide clients in a direction of increased self-awareness, gaining new perspectives, decreasing symptoms, and increasing their strengths in order to lead fulfilling lives with meaningful experiences.
