She earned her Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri where she also completed her undergraduate studies in Criminal Justice. In addition, she is trained in EMDR therapy & Motivational Interviewing. One of her first career opportunities out of graduate school was working with male and female parolees transitioning into the community from being incarcerated. It was during this time that her passion for second chances was ignited; she saw first-hand the power of belief and encouragement to instill hope and see lives transformed. She enjoys helping clients see their own worth, value, and potential; as well as, championing their strengths and helping them overcome destructive habits, past wounds, and unresolved core issues. After a decade-plus in the eld of mental wellness, re-entry, and substance abuse treatment, she understands the power held in each client finding their voice, sharing their voice, and living life authentically.
