I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with an MA in mental health counseling from Webster University. I also have an MA in humanities from West Virginia State University and enjoyed a lengthy career in the film and television industry before turning my energy toward the path of becoming a therapist. My therapeutic style recognizes the importance of accepting our experiences as well as the power of changing ineffective behavior in the quest to build a worthwhile and satisfying life.

I am a program therapist at Delta specializing in DBT and family therapy. I lead groups in Delta’s Partial Hospital and Intensive Outpatient programs, see individual clients, and work with clients and their families in a clinical setting. I came to DBT with a lengthy history of meditation and mindfulness practice and I encourage and emphasize mindful living as a way to work with emotional pain, relationship conflict, and overwhelming life circumstances. My clinical family work is rooted in improving mindful communication as a means to reducing conflict in relationships.

I currently accept BCBS and self-pay clients.
