Welcome to Hayes Medical Integration! Providing psychotherapy is my life's mission. During my senior year in high school, my friend was murdered by other students at the high school that he believed were his friends, and after the tragic death, school administration had a difficult time assisting the students in their grieving process. Because we were not opening up about our grief as they had hoped, administration came up with an ingenious idea to train, any of us who were interested, to become peer counselors. We went away to an off-site retreat for training to learn active listening skills and to process our own grief before being released to bring healing to our fellow classmates. It was during this retreat that I realized that this is what I was put on this earth to do-to create a safe space for others to process disturbing situations and to support them in their healing process! This has, since, been my purpose in life. I believe that everyone has a purpose in this life, and it is our responsibility to find out what it is. Allow me to utilize my 22 years of professional experience to help you find healing and purpose!

EXPERIENCE
My experience includes serving active duty in the Air Force (Disabled Veteran) and subsequent work with military personnel and their dependents as a Military Consultant, work in community-based mental health (hospital, outpatient clinic, schools, family homes), residential treatment facility, and now private practice. I have conducted research for The Urban League, Capella University, and a private educational institution as a trainer and consultant on trauma-informed care implementation.
Experience also entails public speaking engagements at conferences, schools, churches, and community events on topics such as mental illness, mental health and wellness, trauma-informed care, vicarious trauma, and suicide prevention/intervention. Other experience includes working with ages 0-5 and I still love any chance I can get to work with these little ones and their parents!

Also trained by J. Eric Gentry, Ph.D., LMHC who is a trauma expert, author, and internationally recognized leader in the field of disaster and clinical traumatology.
I also have advanced trainings in Perinatal Mental Health and Suicide Prevention/Intervention.
In addition to these specializations, I also work with those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, marital communication difficulty and infidelity, and grief and loss.

International travel, art museums, live theater, water sports, comedy, spreading joy and laughter, reading scholarly journal articles about science/health, reading books about history and trauma, spreading awareness, spending time with family and friends, and laughing with my patients (although we still do real work in sessions)!
