Hi, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my approach to therapy.
I was born in Ashland, KY, and raised in the small rural community of Rush in Boyd County. In 2023, I moved to West Virginia.
Outside of work, I enjoy board games, music, concerts, and spending time outdoors.
I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2019, after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Religious Studies at Morehead State University in 2012. I often joke with my family that I found a way to get paid to talk about life and philosophy—and in many ways, that’s what I do now. I help people explore their lives, clarify their goals, and take steps toward achieving them.
In therapy, I use an eclectic approach because no two people are alike. Each client’s story is unique, so treatment should be tailored to their individual needs. My goal is always to provide respect, care, and a non-judgmental space where clients feel safe and supported.
I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, religious trauma, self-esteem issues, and challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ and Veterans/Military communities, among others.
I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times. Let me walk alongside you—helping you build coping skills for the difficult moments and making room to fully enjoy the positive ones.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
