Do you feel alone when you are surrounded by others? Are you stuck in the same negative thought patterns? Let me help you achieve a happy and well-balanced life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, impulsiveness, parenting, trauma, or intimacy and marital concerns, together we can work towards improving negative symptoms and establishing positive outcomes. I am an interactive therapist who uses an array of therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each individual client. I offer in-person sessions in Athens (in the process of adding a new Rockwall location), and offer virtual sessions across Texas.
I have a PhD in Psychology and Theology, a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Neuropsychology Certificate. I am nationally certified in Trauma-Focused CBT and Gottman trained in marriage therapy. My treatment approach will provide support and feedback to help you resolve current and long-standing concerns.
I offer a unique spiritual direction approach only if your needs fit this. I honor all people and life perspectives. It is with compassion and genuine care for healing and growth that I seek to help you achieve your life goals and find inner peace. To schedule a session, call/text (214)-912-6698.
