I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and am a licensed clinical counselor in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, including Fort Campbell Military Installation. I am trained in counseling, performance enhancement/ performance psychology, health and wellness, and leadership development. I currently serve as the clinical oversight for a local first responder department’s Behavioral Health and Wellness Program.
I treat many issues, but my specialty is in complex trauma. I am trained in EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, the top trauma interventions. However, no matter the issue, I want to get you some relief as soon as possible. This means that while I do use coping skills, I am going to help you get to the root of the issue for long term improvement.
Counseling requires a deep level of trust and that is why I think it is as important for me as a therapist to be authentically myself in the same way I ask you to be. You will work with a person who keeps it real, has a sense of humor, and is truly passionate about helping. I will unconditionally accept and support you while challenging you to do things that are hard because your goals and success are important to me.
