My Story
I became interested in a career in counseling after a therapist helped me get through a really difficult time in my life.
After receiving a Master's degree in Counseling from the University of New Orleans in 1995, I worked with inner-city kids in New Orleans. Many of these kids had been in gangs, and had seen an incredible amount of loss and trauma. Those kids had a great impact on me and broadened my understanding of the effects of violence, trauma, and grief.

Those kids had a great impact on me and broadened my understanding of the effects of violence, trauma, and grief.
When I moved to Chattanooga in 1997, I worked as a therapist with a local psychiatric hospital for several years, and did some work as a consultant for a disability insurance company. I learned even more about the tremendous effect unresolved anxiety, grief, and trauma can have on a person's mental and physical well-being. Yet, I wondered why we couldn't get people more complete relief. I pursued training in biofeedback, hypnosis, and provided counseling in a physician's office that supported mind-body medicine, believing integrative medicine may offer some solutions.
In 2007, I discovered Rapid Resolution Therapy™, which finally produced the kind of results I wanted for clients. I am now considered a Master Practitioner in Rapid Resolution Therapy™, and training other therapists how to use this powerful approach.
I now know it does not have to take years to "get over" trauma, and the possibilities of what we can do with our lives are endless, no matter what our history was.
