I hold an Associate degree from Tidewater Community College and I am currently in the Pre-Art Therapy  and is enrolled at Chowan University seeking my Bachelors in the Art Therapy program and I am a creative artist who has a passion for healing. I have spent my former years as a wife, mother, and clinician in the medical field and have served in various churches for over 30 years. I am  no stranger to sacrifice, and the troubles life can bear. The process of art has become an avenue for me to create beautiful artwork. My long walks on the beach  and in nature during my recovery from living a life of chaos and dysfunction, inspired me to create beautiful ocean-themed and nature-themed pieces of art. Through my struggles over the years, art has allowed me to process my emotions in a healthy, safe environment and allowed me to reduce stress through a meditative state. I desire to offer hope and healing by combining my love for art and psychology with Art Therapy.  I believe everyone deserves to be happy, healthy, and whole.
