About Me

I am from North Carolina and now practice in Arkansas.

Education & Experience

I have served my world for the most part as a lifelong educator (K-college level) and now work as a mental health therapist. I obtained EMDR training and use this in my work as a private therapist mainly with adult clients. I have a private practice where clients either use cash or choose not to use their insurance, People have trauma of all kinds who benefit from EMDR therapy; I am so pleased to know how to help them.

Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

I have just enlisted to help with an Arkansas volunteer group for disaster relief. I await specific organizational information and do pro bono work as well.
