I love to watch adolescents grow and change and become strong, more resilient human beings. I feel adolescence is a time of great change and growth that can also come with mental health distress. I’ve always been drawn to this age group and find working with them incredibly rewarding.
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor who specializes in pediatrics and adolescent medicine. I have an interest in treating adolescents who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression and family conflict, and I provide treatment to members of the LGBTQ community.
I am the program coordinator of mental health services at Teen Health Connection.
I’ve worked specifically with adolescents for over 10 years and am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT), which is an evidenced-based practice to treat trauma in children and adolescents.
I received my master’s degree at Winthrop University.
I enjoy watching college football and love outdoor activities, including running, working out and hiking. I have been an athlete my entire life, so any sport I can play, I want to play.
