A bit about me outside of the room
When I am not working, I enjoy getting my hands dirty. Give me a wall to knock down, or tile to redo and I am there! When I am not geeking out on power tools, I am geeking out on books, enjoying a good historical fiction novel or any book that helps make me a better clinician. I enjoy hiking with my husband of 23 years, our three adult children and our golden retriever. My commitment as a therapist is fueled by my love of learning and a deep passion to support those I care about.
My background
I’ve spent 18 years in a supportive role for children and families of special needs.
Outside of my work as a private practice owner, I work in emergency psychiatric services as a crisis specialist and I am a Mandatory Prescreening Agent with the state of TN.
