I earned a Bachelor's degree from North Carolina State University in Psychology, a Master's degree in School Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University and most recently a Specialist degree in Counseling from the University of West Alabama.  I am a fully licensed counselor in Georgia, holding my LPC as well as national board certified, NCC.  I have worked in education since 1996 at both the elementary and middle school levels; 19 of those years have been in counseling.  I live with my family on Hawk's Nest Farm.  We recently moved to Lula to raise animals, grow food and better connect with nature.  The farm setting allows me to incorporate the tranquility of the farm into our counseling sessions.  Clients experience  a unique counseling experience in a natural setting.  If appropriate, we may talk through our sessions while visiting with the dwarf goats, the therapy dog, Lugz, chickens, cows or even just talking while enjoying the calmness of the 11 acres of nature.
