I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My clinical experience includes over 12 years of working with families, children, adolescents, and adults. Some of whom struggled with depression, stress, anxiety, relationships, PTSD, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. My professional training consists of a Master of Arts (MA) in Professional Counseling, and a MA in Pastoral Counseling. In addition, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Graduate Certification in Health Promotions, and I carried a certification in substance abuse counseling for seven years. Using a collaborative approach, helping clients reach their goals in personal growth and healthier relationships is an honor. Everyone has a story and sometimes that story is yet to be heard, still hiding behind hurt, shame, loneliness, anger and fear. Holding in such emotions can be harmful to one’s mental health. In serving 24 years in the United States Air Force engaging with people of all walks of life, I was convinced we all share similar struggles. Helping others learn how to navigate these feelings and offer a path toward hope, is the ultimate goal. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits and cognitive distortions. Meeting you where you are and helping you discover an inner strength to walk through life’s challenges, with the courage to face each day with confidence is the goal I seek. People are my passion, connecting them to Hope is my heart’s desire.
