She is passionate about contributing to a more holistic paradigm in the mental health field and counselor education arena. While pursuing her doctoral degree at the University of Florida, she explored strength-based, holistic therapeutic approaches as well as spiritual issues in counseling. Her current research agenda is focused on 1) Exploring how restorative yoga can mitigate the adverse effects of trauma, and 2) The psychology of suffering. Her clinical experience lends itself to work in schools, prisons, substance recovery centers, and university/college counseling centers. Adrienne has presented in a previous MFLN Family Development webinar (https://learn.extension.org/events/1879) on Wellness Strategies, Burnout Prevention and Mindfulness.
