Q: What is your professional training and experience?
I received training in addictions at MARR Women’s Recovery Center in Atlanta, while working with women, individually and in groups, who were diagnosed with both substance addictions and disordered eating. I helped start a trauma program at MARR!
I went on to receive training and experience in a three-year clinical residency program working with clients who were healing from trauma and other mental health issues. During my residency I received 80 hours of training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I worked for over three years with clients dealing with sexual compulsivity and sexual offenses at The Highland Institute for Behavioral Change in Atlanta.
Most recently, I became a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist after receiving 60 hours of intensive training from Dr. Rebecca Beaton. Since 2016 I have been in private practice in Grant Park, Atlanta, GA.

English is my first language. Sarcasm was learned as a coping skill in tough times. I find that having a sense of humor makes life’s challenges seem less difficult, so I will often interject humor into therapy, and I appreciate it when clients do as well!
