About Me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Masters in Science from Capella University and a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from University of Phoenix. I have experience working in the field of social services, mental and behavioral health for the last 20 years. I have a background in substance abuse with five years spent working in a Dual Diagnosis field (combination of mental health and substance abuse).I have experience working in homes, schools, and outpatient services with families, individuals, and groups. Most of the last eight years has been spent working with active duty and retired military service members and veterans. I have also worked with children, adolescents, and civilians for almost years in individual sessions. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, person centered therapy, processing, music, and creativity to help clients find the path to their recovery. I also use suitable techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing, and modalities that best work for the client on an individualized basis.
