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), Medicare, and Optum/United Healthcare, UMR.
