Summary

I am a human services and counseling graduate who is passionate about helping individuals and families in all areas of mental health, especially substance abuse. I have also taken additional courses in substance abuse counseling and addictions to supplement my degree. I have recently been a practicum student and intern at Changes Rehabilitation, where the focus was on treating the whole person, not just their addiction. Additionally, I am enrolled in Murray State University's Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate program, where I hope to acquire the knowledge and expertise to serve my clients better. I plan to obtain my TCADC once approved by the state of Kentucky, and after meeting the required hours, I plan to obtain my CADC.
