My Approach

I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Christian Marital, Family, and Individual Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) in Wake Forest. My anticipated graduation date is May 2027. I am being supervised by Danielle Hughes, as well as by program supervisors at SBTS.

I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognative Behavioral Therapy, as well as my background in Christian ministry, which included lay counseling training and experience.
