Origin Story
My journey to The Hopeful Hour began a long time before I ever decided to become a therapist- with my own trauma background. I strive to be a person who practices what they preach, so I assure you I’ll never push you to attempt something I, myself, have not tried.
I will hold space for you to vent, challenge you to build awareness into the way you think and the emotions you feel, encourage healthy boundaries, and always support you in getting past your past to get to know a more present and hopeful you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work and a Bachelor’s Degree in both Psychology and Criminology from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. I am also EMDR trained by the EMDR Institute.
It is my hope and mission to create a space where people can share their stories, build insight into how their past impacts the present, and learn to regulate their emotions in an authentic, non-judgmental, and supportive environment.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to overcome their struggles and find joy and fulfillment in their lives- let me know if you’re ready to find yours!
