Hello, I am a clinical intern at Twilight Psychology under the supervision of Dr. Heather Cornett. I am a graduate student pursuing a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lindsey Wilson University, with an expected graduation date of December 2025. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Family and Consumer Science Education and a Master of Arts in Secondary Education from Eastern Kentucky University, graduating with a 4.0 in May of 2018. I was a high school teacher for 3 years where I taught Relationships, Parenting, Child Development, and Life Skills to teens.

As a neurodivergent counselor, I take a neuroaffirmative and multicultural approach to therapy utilizing constructivist theory. I help clients explore how societal norms, family dynamics, and life experiences have shaped their personal stories about self worth, competence, and authenticity. I support clients in deconstructing harmful or limiting beliefs in these stories and rewriting them from a more compassionate and neuroaffirmng understanding of themselves. I also incorporate aspects of art therapy, play therapy, CBT, DBT, person-centered therapy, and feminist theory.

My free time is most often spent with my neurodivergent family including my life partner and 2 teens. My partner and I enjoy playing Yu-Gi-Ho! with Avatar or Dragon Riders playing in the background. I’m team Marvel, he’s DC, the 2 teens are still undecided. I also enjoy sewing and making most of my own clothes.
