LCSW, Clinical Director

“Home is a place we all must find, child. It’s not just a place where you eat or sleep. Home is knowing. Knowing your mind, knowing your heart, knowing your courage. If we know ourselves, we’re always home, anywhere.” – Glinda the Good Witch

I believe that everyone needs a non-judgmental, trusting, and authentic individual to help facilitate growth, and I feel honored to be a companion in someone’s journey toward growth, self-love, and increasing self-confidence. I want to offer each of my clients a safe space to share personal feelings, memories, thoughts, and other vulnerabilities to the extent they are willing to share. I strive to understand the unique experiences of each person and to work collaboratively to create and work towards goals that best fit each person’s individual needs.

I completed my Bachelor of Social Work in May 2003 at Eastern Kentucky University and my Master of Social Work in April 2019 at Indiana Wesleyan University. I have worked with children, adolescents, women in crisis, and adults with substance abuse disorders and co-occurring disorders.

I like to use strengths-based approaches and work to empower individuals in their process of change. I enjoy using clinical modalities of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I am an EMDR Therapist and a trauma-trained therapist for all ages. 

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, going to concerts, road trips, spending time outdoors, gardening, playing with my dogs, and anything Wizard of Oz.
