How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

I am a certified Physician Assistant and completed my master's degree at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL. I have several years of experience as a Family Medicine Physician Assistant, operating as the sole medical practitioner of my outpatient community health clinic. I manage an extensive array of acute and chronic health conditions, with a significant portion of my practice dedicated to diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders ranging from mild to severe. I have a passion for ensuring that those struggling with mental health issues receive prompt and effective treatment, as I understand the substantial toll that untreated ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other mood disorders can take on someone's life. I strive to ensure that each of my patients always feel heard and acknowledged. With mental health recognition growing over the previous decades, my healthcare goal is to continue providing further access to necessary mental health resources to those in need. This is why I utilize telehealth examinations to help remove barriers to accessing this crucial area of healthcare. As my patient, I will always aim to deliver the safest and most effective treatment plans available to improve your mental health, helping you to be the best version of yourself.

I have a passion for helping people that struggle with substance abuse issues (i.e. drugs and alcohol). I assist my clients in finding their true selves by teaching them to learn how to cope with and resolve their anxieties, depressions and traumas. I have experience working with both the adult and youth population. I aide my clients in identifying their strengths and motivations, and how to use them to maintain long term sobriety. I have a Masters Degree in Addiction Counseling. I also have a PhD in General Psychology with an emphasis in integrated behavioral health (where physical and mental health needs meet in the middle). I am also trained in Trauma Therapy to help those that struggle from a past traumatic experience that may be impeding their sobriety. If you or a loved one struggles from a substance abuse problem, reach out to me. I'm happy to give a brief consultation on how I can assist you at this time of need.
