As the oldest of seven siblings, I always knew I wanted to work with children, though I wasn’t quite sure what path I would take to get there.

When I started college with a major in psychology, I became invested in pursuing a career that combined my passion for understanding how children learn with finding strategies to help them be successful, regardless of physical limitations or learning needs. 

I received my doctorate degree from University of South Carolina in 2018 in school psychology. I have worked in a variety of settings, including public school districts in South Carolina and Kentucky. During my work in public schools, I evaluated students for special education services (IEP’s) and 504 plans and incorporated my knowledge of the public school system to assist parents in accessing resources.  I have also worked at Edelson & Associates and am currently an Assistant Professor of Psychology at Campbellsville University.

My experiences have equipped me with the knowledge and techniques to assist families in working through a wide range of educational environments, circumstances and unique needs. I find this work incredibly rewarding; coming alongside children in their journey to understand themselves and how to navigate the world around them has been such meaningful work. 

As a licensed psychologist at Renew Counseling, I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for children and adolescents, including the assessment of attentional disorders, specific learning disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and emotional/behavioral difficulties. I believe in a strength-based, collaborative approach to assessment. By treating each child’s brain as unique, we can create a pathway towards improving outcomes. I am passionate about working with children and families to help them learn more about ways we can work as a team to help children reach their potential.
