My love for working with people began in 1997 when I worked with children and teens alongside Sissy Goff and David Thomas at Daystar Counseling Ministries in Nashville, TN. After graduating from Samford University, I pursued a Master’s degree in Counseling and graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, FL. Additionally, I have completed graduate studies in Counselor Education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Alongside this, I have undertaken advanced training in play therapy, Theraplay, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and, several years ago, earned my LPC-Supervisor credential.

​

For years, I loved serving as Intake Coordinator and Counselor for Pathways Professional Counseling, a family ministry of The Alabama Baptist Children’s Home. During my fifteen-plus years of clinical experience, I developed a person-centered approach that focuses on the strengths of my clients to aid in personal growth. I incorporate cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and experiential techniques to help strengthen clients. I also work from an attachment-based perspective, recognizing that life is meant to be experienced in connection with others and oneself.​
 

On a more personal note, when I’m not in the kitchen preparing a warm meal for family and friends, you might find me on the tennis court or perhaps reading on the screened-in porch. My favorite way to spend time is with my husband and our three teenagers. We are grateful for continued opportunities to serve in and outside of our church together.

I so look forward to hearing from you!
