I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a National Certified Counselor, and a Professional School Counselor in North Carolina. I received my Master of Science (M.S.) and Education Specialist (Ed.S.) in Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in May of 2019. Since then I have worked as a school counselor in Guilford county and as a therapist at a group practice before founding my own practice, Authentic Pathways, in October of 2024.

I created Authentic Pathways with the intention of helping others achieve informed authenticity. The concept of informed authenticity was first introduced to me at a panel at Comic Con. The speaker was talking about the importance of putting your best foot forward in a professional setting while also ensuring you are staying true to yourself and letting your personality come through.

As an AuDHD individual, who primarily supports other neurodivergent adults, this concept resonated deeply with me. Living in a society filled with systems that are not made for neurodivergent individuals we are often trying to put our “best foot forward” and too often that looks like masking to the point that we start to lose our sense of self. Authentic Pathways was created to help people explore how to pave their own path through life in a way that feels good and authentic to them. It was created with the vision of helping empower individuals to take control of their lives and do the things they have always wanted to do. I support this process by providing clients with a safe space to explore and express what they truly want in life while providing tools and resources to help set them up for success
