ABOUT ME
Hi!
My name is Payton and I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Wake Forest University.
What brought me to the field of counseling is actually a very simple story.
As an adolescent, like so many, I struggled with anxiety, worry, and feelings of crippling depression. I knew it didn’t have to be this way, but I didn’t know how to seek help.
I spoke with friends and family, but often found that they had a hard time understanding exactly where I was.
When I finally sought the help of a compassionate therapist, I found that speaking with the right person helped me find the tools within myself to heal.
I went to The University of Alabama to pursue a completely different career path, until my time spent in counseling opened my eyes to not only how counseling could make me feel, but how I could use my own experiences to provide counseling for others.

Like I used to, you may be asking yourself:
Am I enough?
Is this anxiety “normal”?
Are others judging me?
Will I ever feel better?
Now, I wake up every morning excited and eager to help my clients meet their challenges, overcome their obstacles, and live their best lives.
