I have wanted to be a mental health counselor for as long as I can remember. As someone who has been to therapy, I know that authenticity and empathy are most important to the therapeutic relationship. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Ashford University and M.S. in Counseling from Troy University. During my internship, I gained experience working in inpatient treatment facilities and private practices. With over 30 combined years of life as a military spouse and brat, this time has allowed me to appreciate cultural diversity, resiliency, and unique experiences. As a military spouse, I have a strong commitment to supporting military families through adversity.

​

While working toward licensure, I have been trained to practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), play-informed therapy, art-informed therapy, and Gottman Method (Level 1). My passion is to help children, adolescents, and adults live a fully enriched and meaningful life using holistic approaches to counseling. I have gained opportunities working with people to overcome grief, depression, codependency, trauma, anxiety, and body image issues. My goal is to provide a relaxed environment so that I can meet your needs and provide you with the necessary tools to overcome your challenges.
