About Me

I am a full time faculty member at Baylor University in the School of Social Work in Waco, Texas. I maintain a part-time practice. I am very person centered and am willing to explore ways we might work together. I specialize in working with people who have experienced injury and trauma in religious spaces. I am an expert in working with survivors of adult clergy sexual abuse.

Education & Experience

I earned the PhD and Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Louisville. My bachelor's degree is from Lee University with a double major in psychology and religion. I have been in practice for 25 and EMDR trained for 10 years.
