Counseling and mental health have always been my passions. I believe that everyone could benefit from counseling. I have diverse counseling experience that has provided me with multiple points of view in the mental health community. I am an EMDR trained therapist, with my training emphasized on somatic and attachment processing. I have worked as a substance abuse counselor and clinical evaluator for a contracted mental health facility with the county court system. I teamed up with a local Hall County, Georgia school and Girl Scouts of America to lead the Be a Friend First (BFF) group for middle school girls in an effort to reduce bullying. I am experienced with administering psychological testing for schools and was supervised by a School Psychologist.I also have experience with administrative duties such as Managed Care Organizations, Person-Centered Plans and Comprehensive Crisis Plans, authorizations, NC Tracks, and NC-TOPPS.
