Ohhhh man....what do you actually write in this part? Like what parts of me do I share, knowing it's like a permanent stamp in cyberspace?
Here are a few key things that you may want to know:
-
I serve on the Board of Directors for a few amazing organizations because they value my input and expertise
-
I think relationship is an undervalued concept in society today so I make it a priority with my clients; therapy won't work unless a trusting relationship is created and nurtured
-
I love working with rascally kids and admittedly have more patience with them than I do my own sometimes
-
I am a Christian and I am a licensed counselor but I am not a Christian counselor
-
I am kinda classy and kinda country and I cuss a little
-
I have combat related PTSD and played rugby for a while to help manage the symptoms; that didn't work-therapy did and still does
-
I really like working with clients who do not believe in the power or purpose of therapy
-
I am not for everyone-my energy is not meant for everyone so understand I keep a small caseload of clients who are actively motivated to see change in their lives and are willing to invest in themselves to make it happen.
I am trained in and use various techniques from the following evidenced-based psychotherapy treatment modalities:
-
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
-
Brainspotting (Certified)
-
Neurofeedback (protocol-based & passive)
-
qEEG Brain Mapping
-
Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level II)
I am licensed by the Arkansas Board of Examiners in Counseling, #P2012127
I completed my undergraduate studies at Troy State University and my graduate degrees are from Liberty University and the University of Arkansas
