Hello

I am a Florida native, which is where I was originally licensed as a counselor.   I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in 1997 with a Bachelors Degree in Social Work.  I immediately started a graduate program in Counseling and Psychology at a satellite campus for Troy University, and graduated with my Masters Degree in 1999.  While in Florida I worked in a variety of capacities, including as a school social worker, an adoption specialist in helping children and families through the transition of adoption, a program director of a "step down" residential facility, an outpatient counselor at a community mental health center, and as the co-owner and therapist at my own private practice.   I relocated to North Alabama in 2011 and during my time as an Alabamian, I have worked at an inpatient addiction treatment center, on adolescent and adult inpatient psychiatric units, as a case manager, and now, again, as the owner and therapist at my own private practice, Clinical Counseling & Associates.  I'm also a certified Counselor Supervisor and provide supervision for Associate Licensed Counselors seeking full licensure.  I additionally hold a telemedicine certificate with the Florida Department of Health, in order to provide virtual counseling to the residents of the state of Florida. With nearly 30 years in the field of mental health I've had many different roles, all of which have contributed to the extensive professional experience I'm able to share with you.
