I graduated cum laude from Lenoir-Rhyne University with a double major in human services and psychology.

I began working as a substance abuse counselor in Greensboro, NC at a medication assisted treatment program (methadone and suboxone) for opioid dependence.  

I began working towards my certification as a substance abuse counselor at this time.

I graduated with distinction with my master's degree in professional counseling from Liberty University.

I then completed my certification in VA as an advanced alcohol and drug counselor (AADC).

I was promoted to program director of a new MAT program in Danville, VA, a program I had the honor of opening from scratch.  Through this process I was able to learn the administrative side of MAT and was blessed to work one on one with new patients and counselors. 

After completing my certification as an advanced addiction counselor, I also became a certified clinical supervisor in the state of VA.

I moved to Greenville, SC and continued to work as a program director for the next 3 years with two different MAT programs.  I expanded my clinical supervision work to the counselors there and obtained national certification as a Master's Addiction Counselor (MAC).  

I moved from a program director role to become the area clinical supervisor for 8 clinics in NC and SC for a national MAT program, supervising over 40 counselors at a time.  

I then became licensed as an addiction counselor in the state of SC.

I opened a private practice for clinical supervision which I named Advanced Addiction Supervision.  While continuing to work for a national MAT program, I began to expand services throughout NC and SC.

Eventually, after taking off in supervision, I opened my private practice to once again begin seeing clients for alcohol and drug counseling.  I opened my office in downtown Greer, where I operate today.
