Profile :
I am a counselor who assists local veterans with finding the help they need within the VA and counseling some veterans myself.

My background in the military comes from me being in the Illinois Army National Guard for the past 9 years, 4 of which I have had the honor of being a leader as an Officer in the Army. I believe this background will help me to better understand our local veterans and hopefully help me to better assist our veterans.

Additionally I have completed my practicum and internship here at Comwell. I shadowed a variety of our amazing staff here, most of my time was spent with Mandy Sullivan who taught me so much about behaviors and working with kids in our local school system.

I have also started a men’s group with 4 of our wonderful DD/ID clients here at the Red Bud campus. We dive deep into their issues at home, work or whatever is going on that week in their lives and we find ways to cope with these feelings or overcome some obstacles. I am very excited to be a part of such an amazing group of men!
