Hi, I’m Donna, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Supervisor who has been honored to walk alongside individuals on their healing journeys since 1996. My path into counseling began long before my formal training. At the age of eleven, after reading a magazine article about child abuse, I felt a deep and undeniable calling to help others find safety, healing, and hope. That sense of purpose has guided my work for nearly three decades.

I was raised in a Christian home and developed a relationship with Jesus at an early age. My faith has been a steady foundation throughout my life, especially during difficult seasons. It was Christ who carried me through some of the most challenging parts of my journey, and through that relationship, I came to more clearly understand my calling into the counseling field. My faith continues to shape my perspective, allowing me to offer a faith-based approach for those who desire it.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Liberty University, where I had the opportunity to grow both academically and spiritually within a strong Christian community. During that time, I participated in several mission trips that further confirmed my passion for helping others and solidified my life’s work in service and care.

Alongside my professional education and clinical experience, my personal life has profoundly shaped who I am as a therapist. I was a single mother for sixteen years and have experienced the devastating loss of a loved one to overdose. These humbling and painful chapters refined my understanding of grief, trauma, and resilience in ways no textbook ever could. They taught me what it truly means to survive, to persevere, and to keep moving forward when life feels overwhelming.

My story is also one of redemption and courage. Today, my daughter is a thriving twenty-two-year-old business owner—a living reminder that growth and transformation are always possible, even after hardship.
