WHO I AM I AM THE PROUD MOTHER OF TWO GROWN CHILDREN AND THE PROUD GRANDMA OF THE BABY IN THIS PICTURE. I AM COMING TO THE PROFESSION OF COUNSELING IN MIDLIFE. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD AN INTEREST IN PSYCHOLOGY, IN HUMAN STORIES, AND IN SUPPORTING OTHERS THROUGH STRUGGLE. HOWEVER, MY FIRST LIFE-PATH WAS IN THE HARD SCIENCES AND IN ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURE --- I GRADUATED FROM DUKE UNIVERSITY IN 1994 WITH A PHD IN PHYSICS AND SPENT THE FOLLOWING 20 YEARS IN SCIENCE AND BUSINESS ENDEAVORS. BECOMING A COUNSELOR AT THIS TIME OF MY LIFE ALLOWS ME TO BRING ENRICHED EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING. I HAVE UNDERGONE TRAUMA, EXPERIENCED LOSS, FACED CHALLENGES, AND BEEN A CLIENT OF COUNSELING MYSELF. THIS LIFE EXPERIENCE COUPLED WITH A MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE IN CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING FROM WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY ALLOWS ME TO APPROACH EACH CLIENT WITH BREADTH OF KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, AND FUNDAMENTAL HOPE FOR AND BELIEF IN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR POSITIVE CHANGE. |
