About My Clients
My ideal client is someone seeking support for trauma, PTSD, or addiction, especially veterans and first responders. They are open to holistic and humanistic approaches, ready to engage in self-exploration. I value clients committed to positive change and motivated to navigate their mental health journey collaboratively.
My Background and Approach
With 32 years in the US Air Force, starting as a B-52G Navigator, and a Masters from Troy University, I transitioned to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. Specializing in trauma, particularly among veterans and first responders, I hold a Certified Addictions Counselor (CAC) credential. My therapeutic toolkit includes EMDR and ART. Integrating humanistic principles, I believe in individual growth and self-actualization. Informed by Buddhism, Taoism, and Native American culture, I offer a holistic, humanistic, and pragmatic approach. Each client's unique journey is supported with evidence-based practices, including CBT. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental space, empowering clients to live their deserved lives.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My personal beliefs reflect a synthesis of diverse philosophies, drawing inspiration from Buddhism, Taoism, Daoism, Native American Culture, and various influences that have shaped my holistic and humanistic approach. While not a Buddhist, I align with Buddhist philosophy, emphasizing mindfulness, compassion, and interconnectedness. My practice is rooted in an eclectic blend of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a willingness to integrate what works best for each client. I firmly believe in the inherent right of each individual to live the life they deserve, and my goal is to support them on their unique journey. The philosophy that power resides within each of us to become the best versions of ourselves underpins my therapeutic approach. I am committed to empowering clients, offering guidance as they navigate challenges and work towards their well-being goals. I am here to support and facilitate your journey towards a more fulfilling life.
