A Little About Me
Clinical Me
I graduated from the University of Mississippi, where I received a B.A. in Education. After six years as a special education teacher, I earned an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in school counseling. I have clinical experience in schools, clinics, and crisis counseling at Hope’s Door New Beginning Center, where I counseled survivors of domestic abuse and their children.
Personal Me
My dedication and commitment as a counselor stem from my passion for understanding the complex relationships between trauma, anxiety, and depression. As a teacher, I became acutely aware of families and children’s many unmet needs around mental health and its effects. In addition, my own parents’ addiction and unaddressed mental and physical health concerns overshadowed my childhood. Losing my mother when I was eleven and having an absent father, I bounced around homes. I dealt with feelings of abandonment and rejection from an early age. I am no stranger to the lifelong road we walk in our mental health journey, and I devote my life to helping children, adolescents, and adults as they walk this path.
Specialties
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, who experience various behavioral and emotional concerns. I have a special place in my heart for those dealing with trauma, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. I also enjoy working and offering support for parents and caregivers struggling with the parent-child relationship. When appropriate, I also combine mindfulness-based strategies to help my clients cope with somatic trauma responses that may be present. I am also a Certified Positive Discipline: Keeping the Joy in Relationships Facilitator and Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator.
When I am not with clients, I enjoy yoga, hiking, being at the lake, traveling, cooking, reading, playing with my dog, Ranger, and watching TV.
