Here are my certificates, certifications, and credentials:

Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas.

M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University

Member of the American Counseling Association

National Certified Counselor (NCC)

Certificate in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Skills (ACT-PT)
This training equips me to help clients struggling with OCD, depression, complex trauma, hypervigilance, and chronic worry by teaching skills rooted in mindfulness and values-based living. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is especially powerful for people feeling stuck in cycles of self-criticism or trauma-related distress, providing tools for building resilience and emotional flexibility.

Certificate in ADHD Assessment and Treatment (ADHD-PT)
With specialized training in ADHD assessment and treatment, I can better support both children and adults navigating focus challenges, overwhelm, and executive functioning struggles that often accompany ADHD. This helps clients manage co-occurring issues such as anxiety, depression, and shame that impact daily mental health. Therapy is not about optimizing your performance, it’s about holding space and acknowledging the emotional impact of ADHD.

Certificate in Anxiety & OCD Diagnosis & Treatment (ANX-PT)
This certification deepens my expertise in diagnosing and treating generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, specific phobias, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and worries that keep the mind stuck in loops. It allows me to offer evidence-based tools to reduce hypervigilance and fear, particularly for clients with trauma or religious scrupulosity.

Certificate in EMDR Therapy Skills (EMDRPT-I)
This foundational EMDR training provides me with skills to help clients process trauma memories that fuel symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. EMDR therapy is a highly effective approach for those experiencing flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or C-PTSD after difficult life experiences like childhood trauma, verbal abuse, emotional neglect, or narcissistic abuse.

Certificate in Advanced EMDR Therapy Skills (EMDRPT-II)
With advanced EMDR training, I can support clients through more complex trauma, including childhood neglect, betrayal trauma, and relational wounds. This deeper skill set helps me guide people toward lasting healing when traditional talk therapy has not fully addressed their mental health concerns.

Certificate in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFT-PT)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy training gives me tools to help clients quickly find hope and relief in the midst of anxiety, stress, or depression. By focusing on strengths and future possibilities, this approach is especially supportive for those navigating big life transitions or adjustment disorders. This is a useful approach for breakup recovery or faith deconstruction, where individuals feel overwhelmed in rebuilding their lives after significant change or loss.

Certificate in Evidence-Based PTSD Treatment (PTSD-PT)
This certification ensures I use the most up-to-date, research-backed methods for treating PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-related anxiety. Clients benefit from structured, compassionate care that reduces hyperarousal, improves emotional regulation, and fosters recovery from trauma’s long-lasting effects.

Certificate in Sex, Intimacy, and Relational Healing (SIRH-PT)
This training allows me to help individuals and couples address intimacy concerns, relationship struggles, and the impact of trauma on sexuality. It is particularly useful for clients of all sexual orientations working through religious trauma, shame, or anxiety related to connection and self-worth. I am passionate about working with adults who grew up in purity culture and feel super awkward about their sexuality.

Certificate in Anti-Racist Mental Health Practice (AR-PT)
This certification grounds my practice in culturally responsive and anti-racist approaches to counseling. It helps me support clients from marginalized communities experiencing the compounded stress, anxiety, and trauma of systemic oppression. My therapy practice fiercely rejects white colonialism, Christian reconstructionism, dominion theology, Christian nationalism, white supremacy, and fascism. I am passionate about working with those who have been harmed by these oppressive systems.

Certificate in Clinical Trauma Treatment - Level 1 (CCT-PT)

This certification equips me with advanced tools to help clients heal from narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, betrayal trauma, and religious trauma syndrome. It emphasizes trauma-informed interventions that validate survivors’ experiences while rebuilding safety and self-trust. With this training, I guide clients through the recovery process with compassion, evidence-based care, and a focus on long-term emotional resilience.

Certificate in Neural Desensitization and Integration Training (NDIT-C)

This certification provides a powerful method for addressing the nervous system dysregulation caused by spiritual abuse, religious trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and betrayal trauma. By targeting the body’s stored responses to traumatic experiences, NDIT helps clients release fear, shame, and emotional triggers connected to past abuse. Through this approach, I support survivors in reclaiming a sense of calm, empowerment, and wholeness on their healing journey.

Certificate in Neurocriminology (NCRIM-PT)

This certification provides specialized training in how brain science, trauma, and behavior intersect. It helps therapists deepen their insight into the lasting impact of narcissistic abuse, complex trauma, and childhood adversity. This certification equips professionals to better understand trauma-related behaviors, the nervous system’s role in survival responses, and the pathways from toxic relationships to healing.

Certified Neuropsychotherapist (NPT-C)
This certification deepens my understanding of how the brain, trauma, and mental health are interconnected. By integrating neuroscience into therapy, I can better help clients with depression, C-PTSD, and anxiety regulate their nervous systems and find healing rooted in both science and compassion. I love helping clients transform their relationship with their vagus nerve so they can experience better sleep and digestive issues related to anxiety.
