I am an independently licensed counselor in both Ohio and Tennessee, currently meeting with clients through telehealth. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary. I also have a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Trevecca Nazarene University and trained through the Professional Christian Coaching Institute. I have found great value in the various trainings and degrees that work together in creating my holistic approach. I spent a year-long internship working exclusively with grieving clients and have taken on the view that all counseling really is grief counseling. Loss happens in many ways and there’s a great deal of overlap in the result, no matter what kind of loss you have. Since beginning in the field of counseling, I have expanded my areas of focus to include all forms of trauma, relational distress, life transitions, as well as emotional and mental disorders. The theories and approaches most often used in my work include EMDR, CBT, Person-Centered and Mindfulness. My purpose in life is to extend the hope I have within, and I do that through partnering with my clients to find meaning, strength and clarity along the way.
