Meet Buddy

When you sit down with me, you’re working with a Licensed Professional Counselor who earned my Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Psychology from Concord University and my Master of Mental Health Counseling from Marshall University. Since then, I’ve built out a deep toolkit, and whatever you’re bringing into the room, there’s a good chance I’ve trained specifically to help with it.

Outside of session, I’m just as passionate outside the office as in it. I love music festivals and concerts, I’m a devoted anime fan, conventions included, and I geek out over Star Trek and theoretical physics. You can also find me at the bowling alley more often than not.

Family means a lot to me too. I stay close with my sister, her boyfriend, and his son, my three nieces and three nephews, my two stepbrothers, and my parents and stepmother, most of whom live in southern West Virginia. I’m a lifelong animal lover as well, currently sharing my life with a mix of dogs and cats, including a chihuahua, a Boston terrier, and pit bulls. I still think fondly of past pets too, a Maine Coon named Frizzle and a red tick hound named Sandy.
