Education: I completed my Associate's degree in Business Administration at Trine University (formerly Tri-State University), in Angola, IN. Additionally, I was awarded my Bachelor's degree in Psychological Science, and my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, both from Ball State University in Muncie, IN.
Clinical Experience: As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds for over 12 years. Throughout this time, I’ve gained experience in providing therapy in community mental health centers, school-based locations, a group private practice, and now I manage my own solo private practice. Over the past year, I have transitioned my practice into a completely virtual practice, with feedback from clients who enjoy the convenience.
