I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Counseling Psychology with a Minor in Biblical studies from Toccoa Falls College in 2003. I completed my Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2015.

I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults and women struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief, loss, dissociation, self-harm, life adjustments and faith. I believe healing for the mind and spirit requires time and it is important to know at the onset that the counseling process may be more like a long marathon rather than a sprint.

 I provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental, highly relational space in which to share their story, helping them take their first steps on the road to lasting mental, emotional and spiritual health. As a trauma-informed, source-focused counselor, I prioritize addressing the root source of a problem rather than its symptoms. I believe getting to the root source of the problem is what will bring about lasting health instead of just learning to cope with symptoms. 

I have been married to my husband for 16 years and we have two children, elementary and middle school ages (the fun years!) and one belgian malinois. We live in metro Atlanta. I enjoy spending time with my family playing games, planting flowers, and reading.
