Education
Oral Roberts University , Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, 2011 — During my graduate training, I specialized in trauma-focused counseling and women’s mental health. My coursework and clinical training emphasized both evidence-based interventions and holistic care. I was active in research groups exploring the integration of faith, resilience, and trauma recovery, and my clinical practicum gave me direct experience supporting adults, teens, and families through complex life transitions. EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ Completed advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a leading treatment for trauma, anxiety, and PTSD. This certification recognizes my competence in using EMDR to help clients reprocess distressing memories and reduce symptoms. EMDRIA Approved Consultant™ In addition to working with clients, I provide consultation for other therapists pursuing EMDR certification. This role allows me to mentor clinicians, stay current with the latest trauma therapy research, and continuously refine my expertise.
Work HistoryFor more than a decade, I’ve helped adults, women, and therapists find relief from trauma, anxiety, grief, and burnout. My career began in community counseling and private practice, where I supported clients facing difficult transitions, relationship struggles, and overwhelming stress. Over time, I became deeply drawn to EMDR therapy for trauma recovery, which has proven life-changing for clients working through PTSD, medical trauma, and painful past experiences. Today, I specialize in virtual therapy across Florida and North Carolina, offering accessible support for women navigating imposter syndrome, high-functioning anxiety, and burnout, as well as therapists and healers carrying vicarious trauma. In addition to my client work, I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ and Approved Consultant™, training and mentoring other clinicians in EMDR. This balance of clinical practice and consultation keeps my work grounded, compassionate, and current. If you’re ready to feel lighter, calmer, and more confident, I’d love to help you take the next step.
