Although each of us face unique challenges in life, I believe that everyone has the potential to live a meaningful, satisfying, and rewarding life. Counseling may help you to gain a better understanding of yourself and the world around you. My philosophy of care is to provide a collaborative and trusting relationship combined with empirically based\/clinically sound skills and strategies. It is an honor and a privilege to assist my clients with empowering themselves to achieve their goals and maximum potential in life.\u00a0 As a native of Huntsville,\u00a0I have had the opportunity to work with many well-respected organizations in the area, including the\u00a0Madison County District Attorney\u2019s Office<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0National Children\u2019s Advocacy Center<\/a>.\u00a0 I am a graduate of the\u00a0International OCD Foundation\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0Behavioral Therapy Training Institute for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctorate in Behavioral Health. I am also involved with charitable and community organizations such as\u00a0Hospice Family Care<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0American Cancer Society<\/a>, challenged to do so by words spoken by the philosopher Kahlil Gibran:\u00a0\u201cYou give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.\u201d My\u00a0interests and hobbies include cycling, shooting, studying neuroscience, health\u00a0psychology, and professional development, working on my truck. I have a black Belt and am a part time instructor in Martial Arts Training.\u00a0I am also a volunteer firefighter with my local volunteer fire department as an Emergency Medical Responder. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\u201cYou give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.\u201d \n\t<\/h3>\n

\n\t\tQualifications\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

For over\u00a021 years I have been working with individuals and organizations. It is my intention to provide my\u00a0clients with a professional, safe,\u00a0and\u00a0confidential\u00a0environment to freely express who they\u00a0truly\u00a0are\u00a0without fear\u00a0of\u00a0judgment.<\/h5>\n
