My Certifications
ISSA Elite Trainer
The ISSA Elite Trainer credential is awarded to accomplished ISSA Certified Trainers who have proven their competence in personal training and developed expertise in two additional areas of specialization. With scientific backing and practical application in the areas clients need help with the most, this credential proves that extensive education equals results.
Mental Health Counselor
In addition to being a Certified trainer I am also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor in Washington and Nebraska. I hold certifications as a Certified Trauma Therapist and Integrative Mental Health, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor. I am formally trained in the top 3 trauma treatments; Prolonged Exposure, EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy.
These are important because when you choose to join me we are NOT only training your body physically! We will work together to break habits, explore stuck points that keep you on the yo yo and can address any specific mental health needs. I truly believe you cannot live fully without caring for your whole self; mind, body, emotions and spirit!
***Disclaimer***
The 6 month bootcamp is NOT therapy but I can include individual therapy in it. If you wish to engage in therapy a full mental health assessment MUST be competed and I can only do therapy with people in Washington and Nebraska or those within the Mental Health Compact
ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer
It's no secret - fitness training has been proven to prevent disease, strengthen your health and improve your confidence and outlook on life. As an ISSA student working toward my certification to be a trainer, I'm learning about everything from muscle mechanics to flexibility and cardiovascular dynamics. So if you want to live a stronger and more confident life, I will soon have the training and the expertise to help you every step of the way.
