Site Director

I have been with the National Counseling Group since 2010. I began as a Community Based Counselor and moved into the Site Director role in May of 2013. I have worked in the Human Services Field for close to twenty years, starting in the correctional system and then transitioning into the community based environment. I have been a lifelong fan of the Michigan Wolverines and the San Francisco 49'ers, and I'm also actively involved in local youth recreational sports leagues.

Supervisor

I have over fifteen years of experience and training in Mental Health and Social Work, and have been practicing with NCG since October 2007. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, I offer a wealth of individual counseling and case management experience with adults suffering with long-term mental illnesses through clinical interventions. I am very active in the community and enjoy volunteering in local churches and various programs, such as being a mentor with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Inc. for the past seven years. I am creative, enjoy cooking, laughter with family and friends, and fellowship. During my free time I enjoy traveling, networking, and going for long walks with my dog.

Clinical Supervisor

I am a graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Master’s of Social Work Degree and a graduate of Radford University with a degree in Bachelor’s of Social Work. I started as an intern for NCG in 2009 and now have received my certification as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as well as a certification as a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor, where I ran a substance use program for over four years.  I am currently a clinical supervisor at the Petersburg and Farmville sites and strive to provide the highest level of clinical care to clients and support for my staff. I love singing, laughing, cooking, and watching my favorite football team, the Minnesota Vikings!

Clinical Supervisor

I am a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a Master of Social Work Degree and a graduate of Virginia State University with a Bachelor of Social Work Degree.  I began with NCG as a Community Based Counselor in 2017 and transitioned into my current role of Clinical Supervisor in 2019. As a Clinical Supervisor in both, the Tri-Cities and Farmville office, I offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy and youth development.  I am an outgoing person, who has a strong passion for helping others reach their full potential. In my leisure time, I enjoy traveling, working out, spending time with loved ones and watching my favorite sports teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Lakers.
