Psychotherapist

I utilize a creative holistic approach to integrate mental and physical health. I combine counseling theories and techniques with nutrition therapy and eating habits. I am passionate about facilitating change with clients by connecting past experiences with current eating patterns.  I make it a priority to meet clients where they are in their process to help nurture a sense of safety and self-love.

I specialize in EMDR and utilize techniques from Reality Therapy and Internal Family Systems Model. I provide unconditional positive regard and a safe space for clients to process past, present, and future stressors.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I hold master’s degrees in Nutritional Science and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from West Virginia University. I’m a nutrition consultant and trained in EMDR.
