Everybody wants to be their best self, but sometimes we forget that it takes conscious effort and work to achieve positive mental health. I like everyone else have my struggles, so I to have to use techniques to find wellness. Gratitude is a technique that I always find my self using. Often I reflect on how thankful I am for my family, my health, and the simple things of life. Being a history teacher I also reflect on our past and am filled with appreciation. Ultimately, I reminded that I need to commit to mental health techniques to better myself, my family, and my community.
I am passionate about my family and love to create memories with them. In my down time, you can find me on the golf course, watching documentaries, designing football plays, doing house projects, doing CrossFit, practicing yoga, and planning my next family vacation. I value being in a helping profession through my role as a mentor, teacher, and coach. Now I have been inspired to help in another way by providing counseling to my community as well.
"Life is a beautiful journey with challenges along the way. The counseling process is designed to be empowering as we address life’s various obstacles in pursuit of finding overall wellness. Therapy is a process, and when proper steps are taken it can create harmony, gratitude, and wholeness. When we embrace this complex process, we can find health of mind. Then, one can start to see things that inspire, say things that uplift, and do things that make a difference."
