About

I attained my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree in 2015, and gained my Master of Arts in Counseling in 2018, both from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Currently, I am pursuing my doctorate of behavioral health (DBH) from Arizona State University and set to graduate in 2023. I have worked with a diverse set of individuals and groups and believe in the spirit of collaboration and the power of hope. My specialties include Christian discipleship counseling, addiction/substance use, marriage/couples, severe/persistent mental illness, corrections, family systems, depression, anxiety, and complex trauma-informed care. I have served in private practice, integrated healthcare teams, program/protocol development/implementation/evaluation, and facility/staff oversight. I am also an Ordained Minister of the Gospel as well as a certified John Maxwell Team Member (JMT) speaker, teacher, and coach. I have experience in serving non-profit boards and currently serves on the Board of Directors for Empowered to Conquer, a non-profit dedicated to the empowerment of children and adolescents. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience, and serves here so that you can gain insight from your past, best utilize your current circumstances, and plan for the best opportunities in your future! I will support, encourage, and guide you in clarifying and defining SMART goals while providing evidence-based support to help you achieve your clinical targets.
