We All Have a Story to Tell...
Let me start by first thanking you so much for taking the time to learn a little bit about me and my practice.
We all have a story to tell and my story began in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was born and raised in "The Queen City," before moving to Loveland, Ohio and graduating from Loveland High School. The next decade plus of my life was dedicated to serving my country and state in the United States Air Force and Florid Air National Guard, culminating in my retirement as a Master Sergeant.
I've always had a passion for helping people, so it seemed almost natural to pursue an education that would prepare me to help people in my "next life," after retiring from the military. I was accepted into the University of Hawaii at Manoa's rehabilitation counseling program, whereby I found my passion - working with individuals with disabilities to overcome barriers that prevent them from achieving full-inclusion in society. Shortly thereafter, I pursued my doctorate in psychology, earning a post-graduate degree in psychology along the way and, ultimately, ending this journey by successfully completing my doctorate in psychology.
Since retiring from the military, I've had the opportunity to work in several behavioral health settings, to include community behavioral health, intensive outpatient treatment, and more recently, as an onsite employee assistance program consultant and counselor for several major companies with campuses located in Jacksonville, Florida.
I enjoy working with diverse clientele and appreciate the unique perspectives that individuals bring with them to the therapeutic relationship. I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist by training and provide a friendly, warm, and person-centered approach to counseling, helping my clients to recognize their strengths and brainstorm opportunities for overcoming their challenges towards achieving what we're all seeking in life - mental HEALTH.
We all have a story to tell. What's your story?
