I am the Owner and Clinical Director of Resilient Minds Behavioral Health and Wellness, Inc. in Woodstock, Georgia, where I am passionate about providing compassionate, client-centered mental health care to individuals across the lifespan. My clinical work focuses on helping adults and children navigate trauma, anxiety, and other challenges that may interfere with their ability to feel connected, confident, and fulfilled. As an EMDR-trained clinician, I incorporate trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches to help clients process difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and move beyond patterns that may be keeping them feeling stuck.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology from Auburn University and my master’s degree in Professional Counseling with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health from the University of West Georgia. In addition to my clinical education, I hold a 200-hour yoga instructor certification and spent eleven years as a USAT professional triathlon coach. My unique background in education, athletics, coaching, and clinical mental health counseling has shaped my integrative approach to therapy and strengthened my belief in the connection between mental and physical well-being.
I strive to create a supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey. My approach combines EMDR and other evidence-based therapeutic interventions with an emphasis on the mind-body connection, helping clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, and self-compassion. I believe therapy is about more than managing symptoms; it is about understanding the experiences that shape us, working through what holds us back, and creating meaningful opportunities for growth and lasting change.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia, a National Certified Counselor, an EMDR-trained counselor, and ERP-trained clinician.
Outside of my work, I enjoy running, spending time with my family, and playing with my dogs, Hudson and Dugg.
