Additionally, she has trained extensively in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which are useful therapies for resolving trauma and long-standing, dysfunctional responses to stress. She has trained in the combination of EMDR, play therapy and sandtray therapy. She also worked as a counselor for sexually aggressive youth at WFU Baptist Health Second Beginnings program. In 2004, while at Centerpoint, she served as a Care Coordinator and Guardian Representative for residents of Forsyth, Stokes, and Davie Counties.

 She joined the Epilepsy Institute in 2005, where she provides psychotherapy, play therapy, and expressive arts therapy. Additionally, she provides psychological/educational/behavioral health assessments for children, adolescents and adults who struggle with behavioral or learning issues. Her counseling approach is based on cognitive behavioral therapies from a client-centered perspective. The basis of her play therapy and sandtray therapy is taken form the psychology and world-view of the influential Swiss psychologist and student of Freud, Carl Jung.
