I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor, National Certified Counselor, Board Certified Neurofeedback Clinician, and Board Approved Neurofeedback Mentor. My educational background consists of having graduated with a B.S. in Psychology from The University of Houston, a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. and a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. My doctoral dissertation was focused on comparing the modalities, EMDR and NFB, in response to intimate partner violence survivor PTSD treatment. Given my passion for trauma work, in addition to being a Neurofeedback clinician, I am trained in EMDR therapy, am a CPT provider, trained in providing TF-CBT and well versed in play therapy strategies. Having a passion for trauma and program management, I have worked with a diverse set of populations providing trauma therapy and neurofeedback therapy. Throughout my career, I have built trauma focused programs at different mental health organizations. With a passion for working with combat veterans, I have also been a contracted Neurofeedback clinician with the Lone Survivor Foundation to serve those that served our nation. Formerly, with Region 4 Education Service Center, I led a trauma team in the Santa Fe District to implement systems and provide trauma-wellness counseling services to students and staff in the district in response to the May 18th mass violence tragedy at Santa Fe High School.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In addition to individual counseling, I also provide the following fee-based services: evaluations for Asylum, VAWA, U & T Visas, and letters of support. These services typically require multiple sessions for completion. Please schedule a consultation call for further details and information.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Trauma care is my biggest strength and so much can fall under the umbrella of trauma (anxiety, depression, substance use, generational trauma, epigenetics of trauma, etc.). So when you're helping someone heal from their trauma(s), you're really tackling multiple things at the same time.
