About

I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University in 2018 and was trained in EMDR in 2021. Over the course of the last 4 years, I have concentrated on building my private practice while also working part-time at Howard Payne University (2 years of which I was the lead counselor) and at TrueCore--The Oaks, a treatment center for incarcerated male juveniles. I have finally reached the point that I am strictly private practice. The experiences I have had through counseling have been invaluable in that I have worked with first responders, active duty Special Forces military, couples, adolescents, and families who are in crisis. The work is challenging, but I have loved every minute of what I am doing! I will add that I worked as a public school teacher for 17 years at the high school level before receiving my Master degree. On a more personal note, I am very happily married to my husband Bill; we have five children and 11 grandchildren, which makes our times together loud, rowdy, and fun!
