as a PTSD intervention for combat induced PTSD. Particular
attention will be paid to outlining the 12 week intervention
that challenges the client's construction of traumatic
events.

from North Carolina State University. She also earned
a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University
of North Carolina in Greensboro and her undergraduate
