I received my Master’s of Social Work degree from Colorado State University in 2019. After 9 months in community mental health, I moved to Texas and completed an 18-month clinical internship in a group practice before becoming fully licensed as a LCSW and opening my own private practice. I am a certified clinical trauma professional who specializes in nervous system regulation and post-traumatic growth and have had specialized training in ERP and ACT to treat anxiety and OCD.

As a certified EMDR therapist, I specialize in helping individuals who are unable to move forward in life due to post-traumatic stress. It IS possible to get relief from past traumas.

I am a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces, a breast cancer survivor and an empath. I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Angelo State University (Texas Tech University System). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience and see individuals ages 18 and up.

The name of my practice is called, "Back Porch Therapy." I chose this name when I did indeed have a large back porch that always reminded me of warmth, safety, and security. The porch is now gone; however, my home office/or telehealth is warmly decorated in a pleasing and comfortable manner. You will receive the same smile I show in my profile picture!
