Experience
Administration Programs Manager of Clinical Services
Shelby County Sheriff\'s Office
Sep 2022 — Present · Memphis, TN, US
As an Employee Counselor for the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, I serve as a dedicated mental health professional, ensuring the well-being and resilience of the men and women who safeguard our community. In this dynamic role, I provide confidential assessments and therapeutic interventions to sworn and civilian personnel, helping them navigate the unique stressors of life and work related variables.Beyond individual counseling, I am an integral part of the Critical Incident Response Team, offering immediate psychological support and debriefings to public safety officers following high-stakes and traumatic events. These debriefings are vital in mitigating long-term emotional impact, fostering resilience, and reinforcing the department’s commitment to officer wellness.I also take an active role in training and education, facilitating engaging workshops on mental health, stress management, trauma resilience, and work-life balance. By equipping officers and staff with practical coping strategies, I help create a culture where mental health is prioritized just as much as physical safety.Professional growth is at the core of my practice—I regularly attend professional development trainings, staying ahead of the latest advancements in mental health and crisis intervention specific to law enforcement. This continuous learning ensures that I provide the most effective and relevant support to those who dedicate their lives to public service.In a high-pressure environment where mental toughness is often mistaken for invulnerability, I work to break down barriers, normalize seeking support, and champion overall well-being. My role is not just about counseling—it’s about empowering those who serve, ensuring they have the psychological tools to thrive in their careers and personal lives.
