I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience providing therapy to veterans, caregivers, parents of children with developmental disabilities, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and anyone seeking help on life’s journey. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003 and my clinical license in 2007. My approach to therapy is strengths-based, focusing on the client’s personal values and strengths. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and I work with clients to identify and build on their strengths.

When human beings experience severe life stressors or trauma, it’s common for their lives to unravel which often changes the way they view themselves, others, and the world. My passion is to work closely with people to bring them healing and facilitate learning new ways to relate to their emotional pain. I aim to help my clients find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, whole, confident, and safe.

I believe that people find themselves in situations they are not prepared for and they do not know exactly how to cleanly resolve. I also believe that each person makes the best choice they can every time in the moment of decision while using the information they possess based on their past life experiences, their view on life, how they think, and the environment they find themselves in. My unique education, life experiences, and approach to life allow me to offer a different perspective which I utilize to support and aid my clients in addressing and resolving their difficulties in life.

I work with adolescents, adults, families and groups. I believe rapport is vital to the therapeutic process and I strive to create an environment to provide this. I believe in helping people overcome life's struggles by focusing on each person's individual needs, and meeting people where they are at. I use a variety of specific therapeutic approaches, such as CBT, rational emotive therapy, EMDR, Solution Focused Therapy, DBT, and art therapy techniques, with individuals on a multitude of issues, including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems.

Based on research, training, experience and a lifelong mission to help others, I have spent the last 25+ years supporting others, especially trauma and abuse victims, on their healing journeys. I focus on strengths, potential and capacity, while facilitating an individual healing process. Patients often tell me, "I don't like therapy, but I like working with you!" I bring my whole self to the process. Ultimately, it is your time, your life. There are a lot of ways to be healthy and whole. I am here to support you in becoming your version of healthy and whole!

Serving adults/couples/youth/families. I have experience working with those who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma/nightmares, abuse/neglect, grief/loss, relationships/divorce/pre-marital, parenting, co-parenting. I help clients as they learn to effectively cope with health problems/chronic pain/illness/disease/cancer, clients wanting to build their confidence/self-esteem/self-worth, manage stress, set goals, and much more! I strive to provide clients with a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere in which I creatively adapt my approach to help each individual find success in personal growth and quality of life.

I help people gain freedom from their issues with a revolutionary technique taught by my mentor, Marisa Peer, voted Britain’s best therapist. With RTT I can fix anything from skin conditions to weight issues, to phobias, to addictions, to chronic illness and disease, in just 1-3 sessions. I’m still seeing traditional therapy clients, but since my accreditation in RTT, I’m focusing on moving my practice to exclusively RTT and coaching clients. My target client includes anyone who has been unable to fix or heal from any type of issue, they’ve tried other ways, but have been unsuccessful! RTT is the missing link that can free you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed or lost due to significant life changes? Do you struggle with the uncertainty of what comes next? Major life changes, whether starting a new job, moving across country, starting or ending a relationship, or coping with loss can cause many of us to experience feelings of hopelessness, regret, self-doubt, and shame. These emotions are sometimes difficult to process, and can leave you feeling lost. But what if you had someone to help guide you through to the other side?

Do you feel like your life is out of control or that you get angry or cry at the smallest things? Are you struggling to sleep because your mind won't shut off? Do any of these words resonate with your current circumstances: end of life stress, conflict due to your sexual orientation, addiction, or trauma? If you are facing challenges that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest, the good news is that you don't have to face them alone. There is support available for you to regain control of life, find happiness, and begin living each moment with renewed purpose.
