Hi! I'm glad you are here and happy you are interested in pursuing counseling. I received a Ph.D. in Counseling and Counselor Education from North Carolina State University in 2015. I received my Master of Education in College Student Development and Counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2010. In addition, I am certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors and am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in North Carolina. Additionally, I recently became a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional through Postpartum Support International. I have been a counselor since 2008 and have worked in the college career and counseling offices in a variety of universities. I am currently an adjunct professor of Counseling with New York University and North Carolina State University. While my main theoretical orientation stems from existential, Adlerian, and feminist counseling concepts, I utilize a variety of techniques and interventions in my counseling. Outside of counseling, I enjoy playing with my 2 small children and husband around the Triangle and attending musicals and concerts.
