I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee who is trained in behavioral health with five years of clinical experience. I have worked in a variety of settings from individual therapy and short-term counseling to crisis intervention and addiction recovery. Before my career in behavioral health I served in the US Air Force and retired after twenty-one years. I am truly passionate about helping people understand themselves and how to grow into the best version of themselves.My counseling approach starts with understanding where you are at and builds to help you go the direction you want to go. This begins as a dialog with sensitivity, kindliness and sympathy. My approach is client-centered that combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, dialectic-behavioral, EMDR, and Gestalt therapy.The first steps for getting help seem like they are most difficult, so I want to thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I know that it is not always easy.I look forward to working with you.
