EDUCATION
My education in counseling began at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., from which I graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I continued my education at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Ga., where I received a master's degree in Community Counseling in 1998.
I am extensively trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I offer this modality for individuals as an adjunct to traditional talk therapy. I have found EMDR to be a valuable tool to treat trauma and entrenched negative beliefs and cognition.
Each year, I attend a number of workshops and presentations by experts in the field, helping me stay current on new research and helpful therapeutic techniques. I am frequently attending seminars and workshops on a variety of topics in psychology including: depression and anxiety, parenting, working with adults and children with ADD and ADHD, blended family issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, working with sexual abuse survivors and offenders, working with substance abuse issues, cultural diversity, and ethics.
