I received my Master of Arts Degree in counseling psychology in 1998 from Trevecca Nazarene University and soon began exploring integrative and holistic modalities. I have been in the mental health field since 1995, and in private practice since 1998. In addition to completing level II EMDR training, my approach incorporates the energetic body and spiritual aspects of the individual while using my professional psychological training as a foundation for treating a wide variety of mental health issues as well as personal and relationship issues.
I have worked in a variety of settings including outpatient and residential alcohol and chemical dependency treatment centers, as well as elementary and secondary education in the capacity of school counselor and Middle School Coordinator for Safe and Drug Free Schools. I directed a large church counseling center in Nashville and have worked as Admissions Coordinator for an intensive in-home counseling facility for children, adolescents and their families.
I enjoy teaching meditation and mindfulness techniques to increase creativity, along with health and healing.
