Therapy for real life and real change.
Therapy that is relational, engaged, and focused on meaningful change.
Life can get heavy. Sometimes it’s years of carrying too much, and sometimes it’s one season that knocks the wind out of you. Whether you feel overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, disconnected, or just tired of carrying everything alone, you do not have to walk through it by yourself. The Healing Holler is a space for honest conversations, meaningful healing, and real support through life’s hard seasons.
About Me
Therapy works best when it feels safe enough to be honest. Not polished. Not perfect. Honest.
At The Healing Holler, I offer grounded, relational therapy that helps you move forward... not just talk in circles.
My approach is relational, engaged, and growth-oriented. I’m not the kind of therapist who sits quietly while you talk in circles without moving forward. I care deeply about helping you understand yourself, get unstuck, and build a life that feels more livable and aligned.
That means I will support you, challenge you when needed, and stay present with you through the hard parts, without judgment or pressure to be “put together.”
I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, substance use, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and the weight of just trying to hold everything together.
My work is especially rooted in supporting people who feel unseen, disconnected, stuck in survival mode, or like they don’t quite fit in traditional therapy spaces.
What Therapy With Me Looks Like
My style blends evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and relational work. I also bring authenticity, humor, and real human connection into the room.
I believe healing happens in relationships, and therapy should feel both emotionally safe and meaningfully challenging. The goal isn’t just insight—it’s change that actually shows up in your life.
Education & Credentials
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. I was honored to receive Graduate Student of the Year through the Florida Mental Health Counselors Association.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision while continuing clinical practice through The Healing Holler LLC.

What Guides My Work
Healing happens in relationships. People are not broken... they are adaptive. Insight matters, but insight alone isn’t enough for change. In my work, safety and challenge can coexist, and both are often needed for real growth. Above all, I believe you were never meant to carry everything alone.
Therapy with me is not about becoming someone else. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, your relationships, and the life you want to build.
Why “The Healing Holler”?
The name “The Healing Holler” came from the idea that healing often happens in the valleys of life, not outside of them. Most people reach out for therapy when they are overwhelmed, hurting, stuck, grieving, burned out, disconnected, or simply carrying more than they can hold alone.
I wanted to create a space that felt honest and grounded. Not overly clinical. Not performative. Not a place where people feel like they have to clean themselves up before walking through the door.
The word “holler” carries a sense of place, community, and calling out. To me, it represents the reality that people were never meant to carry life completely alone or suffer silently.
The Healing Holler was created to be a space where people can show up as they are, be met with both compassion and honesty, and move toward meaningful change and healing at their own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Healing isn’t always linear, and it’s natural to have questions as you begin this journey. Here are some common things people ask about starting therapy and the process here at The Healing Holler.
Is therapy with you just a place to vent?
There’s always space to process and be heard, but my goal is not for therapy to become a place where you stay stuck in the same cycle forever. I want therapy to help you move forward. That means we’ll explore patterns, build insight, work through hard things, and make meaningful changes over time. I’ll support you deeply, but I’ll also challenge you when it matters.
What is your therapy style like?
My style is relational, engaged, and honest. I’m not a blank-slate therapist who just nods quietly the whole session. I show up as a real person in the room with you while still creating a grounded, safe, and professional space. Therapy with me tends to feel conversational, collaborative, and focused on both emotional safety and real growth.
Do I have to share everything?
Absolutely not. Trust takes time. You are allowed to move at a pace that feels manageable for you. Therapy is not about forcing vulnerability before safety exists. We build that together over time.
What if I've tried therapy before and it didn’t help?
That doesn’t mean therapy cannot help you now. Sometimes the timing was wrong, the relationship was not the right fit, or the approach simply did not connect with what you needed. Finding someone you feel safe, understood, and challenged by can make a significant difference.
How long will I need therapy?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some people come for specific seasons, while others choose longer-term work for deeper patterns. My goal is to help you get where you want to be and build the tools to continue growing outside of therapy too.
