I know it can be a difficult decision to seek therapy. I am committed to providing compassionate and non-judgmental support by providing a safe space for clients to feel heard, understood, and safe.  I graduated from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session will focus on getting to know each other and allowing me to get a sense of your reasons for seeking therapy in the first place. We will identify what your hoping to get out of our time together and make a plan for how we will move forward. I approach everything collaboratively to make sure that your needs are being met.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One strength of mine is helping people to feel comfortable right off the bat. I know that opening up to a complete stranger is inherently difficult, so I try to make it as low-stress as possible.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with adults struggling with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, trauma, severe mental illness, and ADHD. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. I have experience in working with police, EMS, grief/bereavement, life stage transitions, career issues, and suicidal ideation.
