Experience

My experience started off on the couch of many of my clients offering Real Estate Services many years ago. Learning that my deep calling was with people more than homes I was lead to change career paths. I have a background in mental health serving as the suicide prevention liaison and mental health advocate for Kay Dore Counseling Clinic, under the United Way umbrella. On hand training and experience in inpatient psychiatry, Intensive outpatient treatment, and outpatient counseling have helped me gain the skills needed to be an effective therapist.

Topics

The core of who I am is a wife, mother, and a person of faith. Being raised by a strong southern mother and business owner of Nina P’s Cafe, we were taught a strong work ethic, devotion to community, and mostly a love for people. I feel honored to be a part of the journey of others towards better mental health and wellness. I strive to be as unapologetically authentic as possible hoping to create a safe place where others feel accepted as they are. With a deep belief that individuals must first feel seen and safe to heal, it is my goal to be a safe place for people to deal with a complex world.
