“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.” -Carl Rogers

The journey of mental health is a long, winding road. Sometimes it is hard to find direction, and taking the step to seek counseling is one of the bravest things someone can do!  Although the road may have construction, detours, or stop signs, my goal is to support you through the obstacles you face in life's greatest challenges.

By using a person-centered approach, my goal is to help you work through whatever you're going through, learn more about yourself, and develop a healthy lifestyle so you can be the best person you can be.  Working with ages 5 to 35, I use techniques such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Christian-based Therapy, Play Therapy, Music Therapy, Art Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy.

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Coastal Carolina University and graduated from Capella University with my Master's degree in 2023. I am currently a LPCA under the supervision of Sandy Quast, LPCS of Coastal Haven Counseling. 

With a heart for helping others and a passion for making a difference, I am committed to walking alongside clients on their journey towards healing and growth.

Specializing in working with children, adolescents, and adults, I bring a unique blend of empathy and expertise to every session. Whether navigating the complexities of childhood, the challenges of adolescence, or the transitions of adulthood, I strive to provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their emotions, confront their obstacles, and find their way forward.

With a belief in the power of connection and the resilience of the human spirit, I am not afraid to "walk through the fire" with clients, offering unwavering support and guidance as they confront their struggles and emerge stronger on the other side. Grounded in evidence-based practices and guided by a genuine desire to see clients thrive, I am committed to helping individuals overcome their obstacles, discover their strengths, and live their best lives.

Let me join you on your journey to healing and transformation at Coastal Haven Counseling, where compassion meets expertise and every step forward is taken together.
