About Us

I have been in mental health since 1995. I became licensed as a therapist in 2007 and achieved terminal licensure in 2009 as an LPC. I have experience with a diverse range of mental health issues. I understand the relevance of our past but focus on where you are in the present and what is impacting you today. I take a solution-focused, strengths-based, and reality-oriented approach to problems, seeking ways to improve people’s current issues. My experience has taught me to actively listen and quickly identify areas of concern to find solutions. I consider myself similar to a mechanic; I diagnose a problem and process ways to fix it. , I have been trained in EFT, specializing in couples therapy, and in EMDR, which uses bilateral eye movements and brain processing to help reprocess trauma. I have been in law enforcement since 2013 as a deputy sheriff actively patrolling. I served in the ministry for several years in various roles. If I can’t help you, I will help find a therapist who can. , As part of Chenal Family Therapy PLC, I consult with our team of therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in different issues, ensuring that all possible treatment approaches are considered. If we encounter problems outside my areas of expertise, I can provide seamless referrals, including testing and medication management, to get you the help you need.
