101: Challenging Behavior

I have been working with families and children since 2008.  I began my career as a teacher, and I found that I had a passion for connecting with families and sharing the joys and challenges they faced. My time as a teacher motivated me to complete a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

I am now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Clinical Supervisor for the staff at the Louisville Family Center. Additionally, I am a Certified Social Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) Facilitator, and I co-facilitate support groups for caregivers of Gifted and 2e (twice exceptional) children.

I love working with children with a variety of backgrounds including giftedness, ADHD, transition sensitivities, tantrums and anxiety. I hold a strong value in continuing my education, particularly concerning issues that affect children and their families.

In addition to being a therapist, I am also a wife and mother.  I enjoy spending time with my little family and understand first hand the joys and struggles families encounter in life.
