As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist who helps children and their families in Middle Tennessee, Tricia shares how we can face and learn from this often crippling emotion and how parents can help children who struggle with trauma anxiety and phobias.

Blessing From Fear guides readers through how our brains work and sheds light on how psychosocial and faith development impact how we experience and process the emotion of fear. In her book, Tricia pulls from years of academic study, her professional experience in private practice. her background as a school counselor in Williamson and Davidson counties, and her own experience with trauma as a child along with the ever-present emotion of fear that became a part of her life at that time. She details the tragic experience of the death of her beloved grandmother when she was six years old followed by a second traumatic event -- an intruder entering her childhood home in the middle of the night. These back-to-back experiences fanned the flames of fear in her young heart and ignited ongoing anxieties that continued throughout her growing-up years and into adulthood. She earned her Bachelor's in Human Development and certification as a school counselor at Vanderbilt University and her Master's in Counseling at Denver Seminary. It was her quest to understand fear -- and the hope, healing and blessing she found along her journey -- that created within her a passion for helping others struggling with big emotions.
