Over the course of 20+ years I have had the pleasure of helping people work through a variety of situations and witnessed people find hope, healing and lasting solutions. I utilize evidenced based counseling techniques while providing a safe, non-judgmental, caring environment.

I obtained my Bachelor of Science (BS) in Community and Human Services from Empire State University in 2004 and Master of Arts (MA) in Marriage and Family Therapy through Liberty University in 2008. Over the course of my career I have had many titles including: mobile therapist/behavior specialist, family/marriage advocate, mental health consultant, and mental health counselor. For the majority of my professional life I operated a private practice in New York State. Since moving to North Carolina, I have opened a private practice called Confident Hope Counseling and developed the Confident Hope Curriculum. In the curriculum people explore their design, biblical truth and are taught various practical skills to address life’s challenges.

My counseling style is guided by my Christian beliefs and biblical principles. I take a holistic approach that takes into account mind/body connections and allows for exploration of the person as a whole including their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational needs. I believe that each person and situation is unique; therefore each therapy experience is tailored to your specific needs. Depending on which skill sets and interventions have been proven to best address your issues, you will learn from the Gottman Method, Mind/Body Techniques, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFST), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TI-CBT) and/or Narrative Therapy (NT).

I look forward to the opportunity to partner with you on your journey.
