While our time in the office is your time, I would like you to know a little bit of my background before we meet.
Prior to counseling, I held many occupations, from general labor to account management for a tech company. Between my labor work and tech work I served in the US Army Reserves, and Washington Army National Guard. I deployed in 2008 to Iraq and served as a medic assigned to the infantry. Additionally, I served as a peace officer for two rural law enforcement agencies for 12 years. I put away my uniforms with the goal of working with others toward long-term sustainable wellness.
I was licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2023 and I served those struggling with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health disorders since 2022 through practicum, internship, and while being part of a group practice.
I received my Master's of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counselling in 2023 and my undergraduate degree was a Bachelor's of Science, Business in Operations Management
