Bio
My educational journey started as an art major at Manchester College in N. Manchester, IN and continues to this day. I earned a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Manchester that focused on Psychology and Sport Sciences. Afterwards, I traveled to East Lansing, MI to attend Michigan State University and earned an MA in Health and Human Performance with an emphasis in Sport Psychology. Wanting to become a licensed psychologist, I moved to Louisville, KY and graduated from Spalding University with a MA and PsyD in clinical psychology.
Along the way I became a Licensed Clinical Alcohol & Drug Counselor and a Therapeutic Pain Specialist. This educational and experiential background allowed me to work in a variety of settings: Community Mental Health Centers, the Department of Defense at Fort Knox, psychiatric hospitals, and the KY Department of Corrections. Additionally, I taught undergraduate and graduate courses at Spalding University, Lindsey Wilson College, University of Phoenix, and Western Kentucky University. Now, I am “semi-retiring” keeping active in the field doing Board supervision, consultation, and education/training in the areas of pain psychology, addiction, and trauma. I am the current Program Director for Evidence In Motion’s certification in Integrated Behavioral Healthcare for Rehab Providers. I have presented these topics at the State, Regional, and National level.
