In 2004, I began working for a clinical psychologist who treated those with addiction, anxiety and depression. Upon his premature death, I pursued professional accreditation and graduated in 2017 with a psychology degree. I launched my professional career in Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) working as a mental health practitioner for a large mental health agency. Today, I am in private practice.

Years of Experience: since 2004

Office Location(s): Teletherapy

Areas of Expertise: Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Post-Abortion Counseling, and Domestic Abuse, including anger and stress management.

Areas of Interest: Addiction, Ex-military, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and mental, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Clinical Approach: My approach is to help clients explore how their maladaptive thinking processes influence their feelings and emotions and how these emotions affect their behavior. Together we collaborate on how by changing our thinking, we can change our feelings and emotions and how this change affects our behavior. Symptoms of addiction, anxiety and depression seem to be minimized by this process.

Education: In 2017, I received a Master’s in Addiction and Rehabilitation from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota

License & Credentials: Licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Minnesota since 2017

Hobbies/Interests: Playing tennis, landscaping, gardening, and dog training are interests that take up most of my time. I spend time with my family, volunteer, lecture, and conduct group therapy sessions at a local church organization that provides a six-month recovery program.
