I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas. I graduated with a MS in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. Throughout my career I have had experience in working with clients who have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, dissociative identity disorder, schizoaffective disorder, gender/identity struggles, life adjustment stressors, grief, phobias, and PTSD/trauma. I am trained to treat clients with PTSD and trauma through Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM).

I am committed to helping my clients achieve their goals. I believe that counseling can promote a lifestyle that results in physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I focus on the client as a whole individual, rather than a disorder, and encourage healthy behaviors across various aspects of life. I conceptualize individuals and form treatment plans tailored to each client's unique characteristics, strengths, values, and needs. I work diligently to create a safe, empathic, and supportive environment for my clients.

Have you experienced a loss or major change in your life? Sometimes changes in our lives can bring about stress, anxiety, or feelings of doubt and hopelessness. I believe that we can overcome these feelings through finding meaning in our struggle and learning different coping skills to face new challenges. Together, we can face the struggle and I can help empower you with new coping skills and strategies to overcome obstacles.

My ideal clients want to reclaim their lives from the shadow of trauma and move toward a future characterized by healing, growth, and empowerment. They seek my expertise and support to help them on this journey of recovery.

From my heart to your heart - to the heart of the matter. Whether its trauma, abuse, abandonment, grief, addiction, or the end of a significant relationship, we all have unfinished business to sort through. Individuals usually know what to do when they enter into therapy, but anxiety, fear, depression,and maladaptive patterns of coping keep them stuck in repetitive cycles of unhappiness. More than a diagnosis, you are a human being hoping to reclaim that better part of yourself. Through guidance in a nurturing environment, personal growth mindfulness and self acceptance are possible. Getting out of your own way - priceless.

Therapy can be very helpful in addressing problems you may be having in your life. If you struggle with relationship problems, decision making, depression, anxiety, self esteem, impluse control, trauma, substance abuse, grief, addiction or life transitions; I can provide a neutral non-judgmental space to explore and resolve these issues. Many people believe they should be able to solve problems on their own and seek help often waiting until the situation has grown unmanageable. However, early interventions and proactive actions tend to lesson the impact of painful experiences, allowing you to move past problems more easily and quickly.

Are you feeling dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and disgusting? You work hard and you are stressed and exhausted. You feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry, and sad. You work so hard to do what is right but something still feels off. The things you have tried to feel better just don't seem to be working. You are seeking help, support, guidance, and you want answers. You probably have it together, most of the time, and most people would say your life is not that bad. But what people don't know is you feel dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and not yourself. You are discontent and you are searching for a way to feel "good enough". It's not that you're unmotivated to make things better. Maybe you've done therapy in the past, or have tried yoga, dieting, and prayer. But you're not getting enough of what you need on your own, and you sense something better is possible.
