I am currently an intern through Liberty University, where I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am also a proud member of Chi Sigma Iota – Rho Eta Sigma Epsilon, the international honor society for counseling students.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Mount Olive. After spending a decade working in the criminal justice field, I developed a deep understanding of the critical need for accessible and compassionate mental health care. This realization inspired my transition into the counseling profession.

In counseling practice, I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist individuals in identifying and modifying negative or unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, with the goal of improving emotional well-being. My therapeutic approach is grounded in warmth, acceptance, and unwavering support for every client.

Under the supervision of Taria Bonaparte, MA, LCMHCS I accept Aetna, American Plan Administrators, BCBS (except Blue Home), NC State Health Plan, ChampVA, Cigna, MedCost, Medicaid (Amerihealth, Carolina Complete Health, Healthy Blue, United Healthcare Community Plan, Wellcare), Medicare, and Optum/United Healthcare, UMR.
