About

I have a Ph.D. in Clinical, Health, Forensic, and Neuropsychology from an American Psychological Association (APA) accredited university, a National Board Certified Counselor (NCC), a Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), Licensed Professional Counselor (Clinical Track) in Texas, New Jersey, and South Carolina, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Illinois and Kentucky, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Montana, Kansas, and Nevada, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New Hampshire, Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner in Nebraska, Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Provider in Illinois, Licensed Sex Offender Evaluator in Illinois, Out-of-State Telehealth Provider in Florida, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in The Bahamas and a Certified Nutritionist with almost 30 years of experience.

I have three master’s degrees (Professional Counseling (Clinical Track), Clinical Psychology, and Christian Counseling) and a graduate certificate in teaching and learning. I have been inducted into the Psi Chi International Honor Society in psychology, and the Pi Lambda Theta Honor Society in education.

Throughout the years, I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, groups, and families with a broad range of concerns including parenting problems, addiction, career challenges, depression, divorce, domestic abuse, and eating disorders.

Additionally, I have worked with persons coping with illness, grief, loss, family conflict, pre-marital concerns, anxiety, infidelity, OCD, men’s issues, sexual abuse, spirituality, suicidal ideation, PTSD, weight loss, women’s issues, relationships issues, and panic attacks. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

It has always been my goal to assist with rebuilding people's lives and restoring families. As a clinician, I understand the transformative power of therapy and it has made me very passionate about helping to bring stability to my client's lives.

Therefore, it is enriching to provide professional distance counseling services via telephone or video, so that anyone struggling with life’s difficulties can get assistance, anywhere and at any time to deal with their challenges effectively.
