I received my Masters from UT Arlington in Social Work. I am a certified trauma professional. I am EMDR trained. I completed a training for Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Weight Management. I am a former personal trainer. I specialize with depression, trauma, and weight management.

Listening, safety, empathy, humor, and encouragement are qualities I bring to the therapeutic relationship.

I enjoy quality time with friends, adventure, traveling, exercise, personal development, and my two cats.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the keys to success in therapy. I center much of my work with clients in what they want to accomplish, while adding my personal and professional knowledge and skills to help them reach those goals. I also approach therapy in a holistic way, which includes body, soul, and spirit. However, body and spirit are only addressed if a client wishes to explore those areas of healing.

Techniques: Client Centered, CBT, DBT, EMDR, SFT, Mindfulness, and Positive Psych.

Clients can expect to find healing for their body, soul, and spirit as we explore the past and present components of their lives. There will sometimes be homework between sessions. I find that the clients who progress the most are able to apply the work begun in a session, outside of the therapeutic environment.

Any goals created are developed based on the clients needs and my skill set. I help clients find healing, especially through EMDR, that they may have been seeking for decades.
