Credentials: I am a Limited License Psychologist and Certified School Psychologist and Applied Behavior Analyst, as well as a Certified Rational Hypnotherapist and Offender Treatment Specialist. I recently certified as a Clinical Certified Trauma Professional. I have a Bachelor’s in Marketing with a background in Consumer Services. With my interest in behavior and learning I later obtained an M.Ed. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Louisville in Kentucky where I was born and raised. I have also completed 150 hours of play therapy training, which included art therapy and sand tray therapy. I have been conducting psychological and psycho-educational assessments for the last 17 years and have worked with many different clients, including children as young as four, juvenile and adult offenders, couples, and families. I have counseled in both faith-based and secular settings regarding a fairly wide range of issues. I prefer to work from the client’s strengths to overcome challenges using primarily a cognitive-behavioral model, with strategies drawn from ABA to promote change. Although talking is the quickest way to share information, I enjoy using a wide range of media to communicate thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. I enjoy being a full-time school psychologist in Eaton County and have chosen to continue my part-time private practice in Eaton Rapids as another way to serve this community. I have enjoyed getting to know a wide variety of folks from many different walks of life and I feel privileged that I have been allowed to accompany each of them on a small portion of their life journey.
