Bio:I am a native of Kentucky; I grew up in Oldham County. I attended Georgetown College for my undergraduate degree in Psychology (2008), and I later attended Murray State University to earn my Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology (2011). Upon graduation, I earned licensure as a Licensed Psychological Associate in July 2012 and later licensure as a Psychological Practitioner in July 2018. Most of my clinical experience has been based in the non-profit sector by serving in a community mental health center and designated rape crisis center. In July 2023, I recently started a transition into private practice at True North Counseling and Development in Lexington, KY. Outside of work, I am happily married to my husband Tyler, and together we have two children, Jacob (6) and Anna (1). Together we love spending time with family, bonding over Star Wars, eating at local eateries, and cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats!
