About

I have nearly a decade of experience as a Mental Health Counselor. I graduated from Mercer University, Paine College, Transcendent Life Coaching Institute, and the Theological Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. I work with a range of diagnoses from the approach that suits the client best. My basic theoretical orientation is Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. Yet, I also use EMDR and DBT to help client's manage stress and release trauma. I am also a student of the Enneagram, Tarot, Astrology and Energy Healing. I work with TLC as a facilitator to assist in the growth of Master Life Coaches. I am a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor and am currently accepting associate counselors as supervisees.
