I specialize in child and adolescent disorders, concentrating on autism/aspergers, ADHD, separation anxiety and attachment issues, antisocial personality disorder and more. I also provide psychological evaluations. For community service, I am available for speaking to teachers, churches, and other organizations to educate about effective methods used with children who have social and behavioral challenges. Previous speaking engagements have been in local schools and organizations, and I have also appeared on the TV program “Joy In Our Town."" I graduated from Carson-Newman College with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, and also from Trevecca Nazarene University with a Masters of Arts in Counseling. I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors and Society for Christian Psychologists. I am happily married, and we have two children and three dogs.

I specialize in child and adolescent disorders concentrating on autism and ADHD, with a focus on depression and anxiety. My youngest brother has autism and has struggled with his mental health. It was difficult to find providers for him, so I wanted to specialize to help other people with autism and other issues. I really enjoy hiking and long walks in the woods with my dog. I graduated from Potsdam State University of New York with a Bachelor of Arts, and from Liberty University with a Master of Arts in Counseling. I am a member of the American Counseling Association.
