Philosophy
With whatever you bring into the room, it is my goal to provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space for you. Life's experiences and relationships shape us and affect us all. I want all of my clients to know that they are valued and capable. I collaborate with my clients on understanding their stories and emotions and work with them to determine together what coping strategies are best suited for their unique needs. I work to empower my clients toward their goals for growth and mental health. I genuinely enjoy what I do and find it a great honor to walk alongside others in their journey.
After obtaining her bachelors degree, Mallory gained experience working with adolescents and families during her work in youth ministry. She also worked closely with college age to young professional and adult leaders. She was the Women's Director for KLIFE Ministries before she transitioned to the Student Coordinator for Faithbridge Church in Jacksonville, Florida. An influential mission trip stirred Mallory's passion for survivors of trauma and led her to begin pursuing counseling as a profession.
Mallory enjoys coffee and conversation with friends. She loves singing and listening to music. Currently a student, she spends a lot of time studying with books on theology or psychology.
