I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor™, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, National Certified Counselor, Institute for Play Therapy -Certified Sandtray Therapist and FirstPlay® Practitioner.  I am also a ‘seasoned’ military spouse of 23 years and have helped my family cope with 7 deployments and 13 moves and understand first hand difficulties that occur in various stages of parenting.

It was in college that I had calling to be a children’s counselor and have continued along this career path since. My counseling experiences over a span of two decades have ranged from using play therapy as a social worker, school counselor, private practice, as well as creating a program for disaster counseling.

I also enjoy developing and co-leading programs for military kids, presenting at conferences nationally and internationally and have had appearances on Army Wife Network Talk Radio & American Warrior Radio.
