What do I do at the Counseling Center?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Clinical Case Manager here at the Counseling Center. As a Case Manager, my primary role involves helping students connect with community mental health  resources and with community providers. I also collaborate with other departments within JMU to help students navigate and access on-campus resources. In addition to this role, I maintain a small caseload of individual clients.

What's it like to work with me?

I operate from a person-centered, humanistic approach for counseling. I believe that each client is the expert in their own life and it is my goal to provide support and unconditional positive regard during their journey of self-discovery. I tend to incorporate aspects of  Rogerian, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and MI (Motivational Interviewing) in session.

What do I do at JMU outside of the Counseling Center?

Outside of the Counseling Center, I enjoy spending time with my fur babies, enjoying the outdoors, reading a good book, and spending quality time with loved ones.
