I have been with NCG since June, 2008. I started out as a Community Based Counselor II, then became a clinical supervisor, and an Assistant Site Director at the Virginia Beach site. I obtained my B.S. from Old Dominion University and my MSW degree from Norfolk State University. I am in the process of becoming a registered play therapist, and have started the Crisis Stabilization Program for children and adults at the Virginia Beach site. I also enjoy reading and watching movies.

I have been working in the mental health field since 1997 as a Qualified Mental Health Profession and have been with National Counseling Group since 2011. I've enjoyed my experiences working in various roles, including as a Mental Health Skills Builder, in Therapeutic Day Treatment, and as an Intensive In- Home Counselor. After graduating from Regent University with a Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling Degree, I pursued my Licensure in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since becoming licensed, I have been honored to become a Supervisor, an Outpatient Therapist, and currently working as a Site Manager. I'm also trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, and EMDR therapy. My passion is people and my purpose is to serve.

I rejoined National Counseling Group in May of 2022. I previously worked for NCG in 2017 as a Community Based Counselor. I received my B.A. in Sociology from Norfolk State University and a Master's in Social Work in Advanced Clinical Practice from Walden University. I am currently working to obtain credentialing as a Registered Play Therapist and utilize play therapy interventions under the supervision of an RPT. I specialize in treating youth and adolescents, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and grief. I utilize a person-centered, solution-focused approach to empower my clients to effect change in their lives.

I have been with NCG since 2020. I started as a Community Based Counselor, then became an Outpatient Therapist, before advancing to Clinical Supervisor. I received my B.A. in Psychology from Norfolk State University, my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and am pursuing my PhD in Forensic Psychology from Walden University. I am a Resident in Counseling, pursuing licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I specialize in treating youth, adolescents, young adults, and those with intellectual and developmental disabilities dealing with depression, anxiety, serious mental illness, relationship issues, self-esteem, life skills, social skills, and grief. I use person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to empower my clients to revive their lives.

I joined the NCG family in 2018 as a Community Based Counselor, then transitioned to School-Based Counselor, Outpatient Therapist, and now Clinical Supervisor.  I earned a BS in Psychology from University of Maryland Global Campus and a MSW from University of Hawai’i.  I’m currently pursuing a certificate in Animal-Assisted Therapy and hope to someday incorporate one of my four lovable basset hounds into my practice.  I use concepts from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Psychology to empower children, adolescents, and adults to overcome barriers to success, to achieve wellness, and to reach life goals.
