Partnership Approach
My work as a trauma and addictions professional is a ministry opportunity for me. I count it a privilege to partner with you on your path to healing and health. My goal is to identify your goal and address any challenges that may impede your success. If you are really ready for change, you can make the decision today to begin the process. I look forward to partnering with you on your path to change.
About
My undergraduate work was completed at Malone University in Canton, OH. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Business Administration. I received a Master of Arts degree in 2004 from Indiana University and in 2008 I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) for the state of Indiana. After several years as a general practitioner, I trained with the International Institute for Trauma and Addictions Professionals (IITAP) and earned a Certification as a Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). Recognizing that shame and trauma are at the heart of addiction, I trained and certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a researched and proven tool to assist those who find themselves saddled with traumatic memories of all types. I subsequently pursued and received training in Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), the newest tool in my toolbox for helping.
