Licensed Professional Counselor

I am 22-year Army Veteran who has served in five overseas deployments throughout my career. I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University.  On January 31, 2017, I earned the title of Licensed Professional Counselor after two years of working as an Associate Licensed Counselor. 

I have worked with Magellan Inc. as a Military Family Life Counselor for two years in assignments at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama; Yokota AFB Japan; and Kaiserslautern and Baumholder, Germany. I have completed a five-year career as a Military and Family Life Counselor overseas in Germany. I have worked with Hospitals, Hospice, Methadone Clinics, Mental Health Centers, the Military, DHR, and private practice. 

I am currently attending Liberty University for my Doctor of Education in Community Care Counseling: Marriage and Family Therapy program.
