Education

B.A. in Psychology from Ohio University
M.A. in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology
M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University

After going through my own Adverse Childhood Experiences, I was drawn to the mental health field to better understand people and human behavior. In 2018, I was trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for the treatment of trauma and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), and it quickly became my specialty.

My approach focuses on identifying and addressing root causes rather than offering temporary fixes. In addition to EMDR, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered, and somatic-based approaches.

Although I hold a degree in forensic psychology, I am not a licensed forensic psychologist, and Be Free Counseling does not offer forensic psychology services.
