I believe everyone has a story to tell, but we must first know our story fully and honestly. Whether you're struggling to understand yourself due to trauma, life stressors, or transitions, I am here to help you learn to know your true self and not allow past trauma or hurt to define your story today.

​

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and in 2012, I earned my LPC-Supervisor credential. I am also a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor and a National Board Certified Counselor. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients of all ages process and work through their trauma.

​

I also know that God has created you uniquely, so I tailor my counseling to each client’s needs. While my faith informs my counseling, I have worked with people of different or no faith in the counseling room. I typically lean on an attachment-based approach to counseling, understanding that our early years and formative relationships shape who we are and how we tell our story. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults to heal from their hurt and trauma and fully embrace their story.

​

For the last 10 of those years, I served as a Clinical Director, specifically supporting professionals across the state. If you are a professional or minister looking for help with burnout or vicarious trauma processing, I have extensive experience helping individuals process their stories and trauma so they can better help others.

​

As for my background, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with a focus on adolescent development, from Auburn University. I received my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Additionally, I have completed graduate studies in Counselor Education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

​

I look forward to working with you and cannot wait to see the story you learn to tell about yourself.
