I was born in Florida, raised in Tennessee along with my three siblings, and moved to Georgia in 2020. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Music Business and my MBA from MTSU, and I am currently completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with a Graduate Certificate in Trauma Counseling.

As a trauma-informed counselor-in-training, I have a heart for helping clients navigate through relational issues, complex trauma, grief, and life transitions. I bring a supportive and empowering approach to counseling, with an emphasis on growth. I am comfortable accompanying clients throughout their journeys, no matter the pace. I incorporate attachment theory, internal family systems, and emotion-focused therapy concepts in my practice.

In my personal life, I enjoy going to concerts, traveling, and cuddling up with my two energetic puppies, Rosie and Waffle, and my brave little kitten, Goose.
