Hello! I'm licensed in the states of TX, SC, VA, MN, and NV to provide therapeutic services and hold an additional certification for treating those with anxiety. I most enjoy empowering individuals who struggle with self-esteem or identity issues, who are having relationship difficulties, or have let their overthinking tendencies consume too much of their life. I believe life is too short to live in constant anxiety and mentally beating ourselves up. My goal is to help people build more self-compassion and self-confidence to regain control of their mental health and lives. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. There is no benefit to this, yet many of us do this unconsciously on a daily basis. So why do we do it? Let's explore some of those reasons together and identify steps to take to address this emotionally draining behavior. I use an eclectic approach in the therapy I provide, understanding that every client's needs are different, and one client's needs can even vary every session. I want to meet you where you're at each session using techniques from a few different modalities I've come to know and enjoy using. I'm here to provide a nonjudgemental listening ear, while also encouraging you to make those changes you've always wanted to make when you're ready. Just know that you don't have to be alone in this. So if you’re ready to take back control of your life, you’re in the right place!

My first career includes 17 years of retail management. I worked in multiple divisions, environments, and roles within the retail management industry. Most of my experiences were in the Big-Box retail environments or within the corporate office environment, so I understand the expectations and stressors of P&L management, marketing, staff performance/recruitment/training & development, shrinkage, O.S.H.A. compliance, and merchandising. I transitioned from the retail management industry to the human services industry in March of 2010 after receiving my master’s degree in Human Services with a specialty in Mental Health Counseling. This information is pertinent for adults who need assistance to cope with work-life balance, corporate industry standards, stressful work environments, conflict management with co-workers, and work performance due to compassion fatigue or inappropriate time management.
