Over the past 13 years, I have worked with a variety of challenges ages 5 to 75. With a double Masters degree in School Counseling and Mental Health, I have a unique training background. Skilled in relationship counseling that reaches family, school and personal issues, I would like the opportunity to talk with you more about how my training and experience can assist you or your family.
When you can't look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark. Life is difficult. Sometimes we need the help of others who have walked through difficult things themselves and have walked this journey with others. I can fill this role, and this is exactly my goal in my chosen profession.
Dealing with tough issues can be intimidating. You are not alone in your troubles and healing is not only possible, but a reality for those who are ready and willing to take the first step. You do not have to commit to anything in saying you want to try something different, simply reaching out is all that is necessary.
I am grateful for the opportunity to work with many Chattanooga Schools! Our company partnered with CCS in 2020 to assist with needs that go beyond the scope of a school counselor. If you are interested in learning more about school partnership for your school - please reach out!

I was the host of a local TV show, Live Well, where I promoted mental and physical health in my rural community. I have worked for 5 years as a health behaviorist at Erlanger's Chattanooga Lifestyle Center, two years in Crossville at Christian Counseling Center and counseled college students, athletes and coaches at a University in Nashville.
Personally, I was born a horse girl, married a cattle farmer, had a wild child, and got some herding pups. I advocate for others to Live Well despite circumstances. I look forward to meeting you! *Speaking and Press requests call or email. Interviews with Channel 3 News. "Mental Health reminders." "Suicide Awareness" |
