Born and raised in Cary, North Carolina, Bea brings previous experience working in a psychiatry office and a genuine passion for the mental health field.

Throughout her life, Bea has been drawn to psychology and the opportunity to better understand herself and others.

Her interest, shaped in part by her own experiences with mental health, led her to the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where she earned her degree in Psychology.

After graduating, she continued her education in UNC Wilmington’s Psychological Sciences master’s program with the intention of pursuing research. However, through her experiences, she discovered that her true passion was working directly with individuals and supporting them along their mental health journeys.

Bea hopes to pursue a Clinical Mental Health Counseling program in the future to achieve her goal of becoming a therapist.
