I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional with 9 years of experience working in Admissions, Crisis Services, and Outpatient Therapy at the Community Services Board in Lynchburg, VA. Since 2017, I also served as an outpatient therapist at Thriveworks, where I worked with diverse populations. I founded Finding Strength and Hope, LLC, in August 2024 to offer individual therapy, couples counseling,  family therapy, and substance use counseling to adults, children, and adolescents, using a client centered, strengths based counseling approach.

I believe in the power of a therapeutic partnership to foster resilience, self-awareness, and growth. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing and mental well-being, I am here to help guide and support you on your journey. Drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I work with clients to build on their strengths and develop the coping skills they need to live happy and successful lives.
