About
Over 15 years I have assisted individuals/groups to achieve goals and perspectives to a healthier mindset. Through a supportive environment, I have been helping clients to utilize tools to guide them in personal challenges. Specializing in the medical arena, I assist clients with chronic pain, depression, and other challenges with a dedication to client-centered goals. I enjoy working with older teenagers, adults and geriatric populations. As a retired military veteran, I am sensitive to the needs of our active duty, veteran, and veteran family. I currently serve in the Red Cross as a Services to the Armed Forces Facilitator. Being an LPN for over 30 years and an LCMHC for over 15 years I I have worked multiple fields including chronic pain. I utilize a blend of cognitive behavioral, Mind body Medicine, dialectical behavior practices and when a client asks Christian based practices. I have served in active duty in the Air Force as a Diet Technician where I learned to counsel basic nutrition and received a DOL Masters certificate in this. I retired in the healthcare field in the North Carolina Air National Guard and have done three tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
