- LICSW, LCSW
I am a West Virginia University School of Social Work graduate and also hold Master’s degrees in Law and Legal Studies and Public Administration. I know first hand what it feels like to have the pressure of life’s expectations on your shoulders as a young professional, and as an athlete. I am an advocate for an active lifestyle having a history in competitive sports and bodybuilding and understanding that finding your identity and power after a shift can be difficult. I hope to offer my clients a place where all parts of ourselves can intersect. While I have a special interest in trauma work, other areas of focus include life transitions, high stress, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship recovery, and mental performance in both career and athletic environments. I primarily offers Telehealth therapy services, but look forward to speaking engagements, and partnerships that elevate mental health and lifestyle, and also enjoy mentoring, writing and speaking.
I often use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and strengths-based approaches and am now also able to offer Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR) under consultation while becoming fully EMDRIA trained. I primarily offer Telehealth therapy services.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
