Training & education

I am a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at North Carolina Central University. I am planning to pursue licensure as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I am an Ordained United Methodist pastor with a Master’s of Divinity. I spent the first 20 years of my vocation as a United Methodist pastor, walking alongside individuals and communities through life’s joys and challenges. In 2019, I helped start an inclusive church community that welcomed people from LGBTQ backgrounds and those who had experienced harm in religious settings. Through this work, I discovered a deeper calling: to walk alongside people, listen, and journey together toward greater wellbeing.
