My passion is to assist others to become aware and learn how to overcome challenges in their lives to see them succeed. Some may not even know where to begin to begin their journey or even know what causes emotions to spike. This may take investigating and uncovering what may not be seen to see the root cause creating negative emotions. The negative emotions can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, fear of the unknown, and negative self-talk statements such as, nobody will listen, no one will understand, or I am alone. You do not have to be in this alone, you can gain control back to your life, and there is hope. I have been practicing as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in mental health services for 10 years. I have a Master in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling and a Master of Divinity (M.Div) in Chaplaincy. My experience comes from working at Youth Dynamics Inc. assisting young people and families overcome challenging obstacles. I have served in the United States Army as an enlisted soldier, with two deployments to Iraq, and, as my career continued, an officer in the United States Army National Guard and Army Reserve. I retired as an officer in the Chaplain Corps supporting soldiers. I assist those who have experienced trauma related to domestic violence and narcissistic relationships, veterans who experience PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and co-dependency. I do conduct some marriage counseling using the relate strong curriculum and the prepare enrich program. Techniques used in therapy are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy (SFT), Christian counseling when requested, and using a narrative to map out and process trauma. The goal of Minds into Focus Counseling is to help others through their life by supporting, navigating, and overcoming obstacles together.
