As a counselor, I get the opportunity to help people during difficult times in their lives. I have had the privilege of doing this as a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 25 years. I see my purpose as a counselor as helping people to become aware of their individual abilities, to be empowered with a sense of hope, and to recognize their ability to make a difference in the lives of people they encounter.

​

The majority of my experience has been with children, teens, young adults, and families.  Because each person is an individual with different needs and abilities, I incorporate the use of different therapeutic treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Rational Emotive, Person Centered and others. I am also trained in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) related to 10 years of working with severely physically abused and sexually abused children and teens at The Child Advocacy Center of Cullman, Alabama.  

​

I enjoy spending time with my family and serving others through my work and community.
