I love this quote from Dr. Louis Tinnin and Dr. Linda Gantt, Co-founders of the Instinctual Trauma Response Method, "Of all the mental health issues, the ones related to trauma are the most treatable." I hold this same belief and enjoy working with adults, couples, and first responders who are experiencing symptoms of traumatic stress (anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, uncomfortable body sensations, etc.) Traumatic stress is an injury that can be healed and effective therapy does not require you to relive past experiences.

Outside of work, I love to workout, spend time with my daughter and family, and I adore all animals. I also travel as much as possible.

I love exercise and physical fitness. I also love to cook and bake. I am the co-owner of a halotherapy salt lounge and am very interested in alternative health and wellness practices.

I recharge through travel, sleep, family, and great culinary experiences. I also love college football (Go Mountaineers)and physical fitness.

I have a dog and kitty cat. I love watching my fur babies interact by chasing and taunting each other. Animals bring me great joy and if I could have a zoo, I would!
