Kingdom man of God. Husband. Father. Leader and Disciple.
I’m an over-forty-something Davie County resident who lives, works, and worships in my hometown. I am an employed Human Resources Manager and have dedicated the past decade+ to career, business, and leadership development, from staffing and recruiting, to orientation and business retention for large corporations. I also have an Emergency Response background, serving as a volunteer EMT in Davie County for over twenty-years.

I'm an almost forty-something who is a wife, a mother, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for the state of North Carolina.  I consider it one of the greatest honors of my life to be able to walk alongside of individuals, couples, and families, in the valleys and on the mountaintops. In my personal life, I enjoy being a homebody or you can find me out-and-about-town with my family. I come alive when I am creating, reading a good book in my chair, and/or listening to very loud music. (And I never underestimate an oversized cup of coffee, a good pair of sweatpants, Netflix, and/or a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream.)

When journeying alongside others, I have found that therapy is effective when our therapeutic relationship is infused with an eclectic approach. My Christian Counseling therapy style is first and foremost, relational and interactive. Secondly, my approach is a beautiful blend of holistic therapy, integrating how the mind, body, and spirit complement one another, along with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques

Therapy Style

DISCOVER: we will first begin at the starting block, tilling and unearthing those presenting challenges, including unmet needs and desires, that brought you to Awakening

VISION-CASTING: together, we will design unique goals that complement and speak life into the barren, being curious about the elements of what ignites and breathes life into you, as well as expose distractions, lies, and wounding. 

CATALYST: Future time together thereafter will focus on how to walk in and become the person God created and called you to be.
