Therapeutic orientation

I use an integrative approach that is person-centered and strength based. I utilize a holistic approach that factors in broader social and cultural factors and explores how we are interconnected to each other and the systems we encounter.  

Areas of clinical interest

I enjoy working with a variety of clients including international, graduate and professional students, neurodiverse students and non-traditional students. I have also spent a lot of time working with individuals experiencing major life transitions including relocation, career changes, divorce and breakups, anxiety, depression and serious health challenges. I have extensive experience with grief and loss as well. Whether you are just beginning your journey into adulthood or your life is taking an unexpected turn, I am here to help you navigate your journey. 

Bio 

I grew up in West Virginia and after earning my undergraduate degree at WVU, I moved to Columbus, Ohio. After 25 years in Ohio, life brought me back to WV and I realized my heart never left. In my spare time, I love playing outside with my family and our two dogs, Biggie and Coco.
