About

During my early twenties as a professional dancer, I still struggled with finding meaning in life. I had danced as my way of coping and expressing myself ever since I was 10, yet it had left me unfulfilled. While undergoing medical treatment for stress and malnutrition, I learned about Dance/Movement Therapy. Following some research, I was quickly enrolled in graduate school. 

To help me learn and practice the skills I was learning, I used myself as my first client because I've always been a person that practices what they teach.

In 2013, I graduated from Antioch University New England with a Master of Arts in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling. After graduating, I was fortunate to secure a position at an outpatient facility where I spent almost 9 years as a therapist. Of those 9 years, two and a half were also spent as a Clinical Supervisor. 

Through my career, I found fulfillment in my personal lives as well. My life took a step closer to fulfillment when I started my online mental health practice, E-MOTIVE Counseling LLC PLLC, in early 2022. 

Now, I can help people across the Carolinas find purpose in their lives.

When I'm not working, I enjoy playing video games with my husband, dancing in the kitchen with my son, and spending time outdoors when it's pleasant. 

I would describe my personality as gracious, awkward, humorous, and accepting. I'm passionate about improving myself and always eager to learn.
