Since graduating from Tennessee Tech in Music Therapy, I have worked in various settings, both in- and out-patient. As a professional counselor, I have worked in crisis counseling, disaster relief, and children, youth and adult counseling. My areas of interest include trauma, mood and anxiety issues, and neurodiversity.
I work within a bio-psycho-social-spiritual framework, using techniques such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. I focus on the ways in which physical, emotional, mental, and social health interact and influence each other.
Clients can expect to learn a variety of skills and strategies to reduce or even eliminate life-interfering stressors and gain greater understanding of their challenging issues. Goals may include reducing or even eliminating issues related to stressors including anxiety, depression, trauma history, and interpersonal difficulties.
