Aubree graduated in 2012 from the University of Lynchburg in Virginia with her Bachelor of Science in psychology. While in undergraduate school, she spent most of her time developing clinical research on sexual disorders, trauma, and personality disorders. While working full-time in Holden Beach, NC, she enrolled into Liberty University’s Master of Art’s program for Professional Counseling with an emphasis on trauma and grief counseling. After receiving the opportunity to complete her internship at First Step Services for her degree, she picked up with her two puppies and moved to Raleigh! First Step hired Aubree as a substance use disorder counselor as soon as she graduated in 2016. Currently, she is the evening Recovery in Action group facilitator and provides assessments, individual counseling sessions for substance use and mental health, treatment planning, and discharge planning for both community clients and clients on Federal Probation. In her free time, you will most likely find her with her tribe of fur babies, crafting, or singing!
