More about Kenneth
- 3 years' experience

- LPC-MHSP
I am licensed in Tennessee with three years of professional therapy experience, but my work helping people in crisis began long before that. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 25 years as a board-certified paramedic, responding to emergencies where trauma, addiction, and mental health struggles were often at the forefront. I also served 10 years in the USAF, where I witnessed firsthand the toll that high-stress environments take on the mind and body.
I have experience helping clients navigate addiction recovery, trauma, abuse, anger management, and bipolar disorder, as well as working with those struggling with depression. I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that within you are strengths you may not even realize yet—strengths that will help you overcome life’s challenges.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I know how hard it can be to reach out, but you don’t have to do this alone. I am here to support and walk alongside you in your healing journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
