I am a licensed mental health therapist. I approach therapy with a non-judgmental demeanor, which is essential in helping clients open up and trust me with their deepest thoughts and emotions. I strive to create a sense of rapport and connection with each client, making them feel comfortable sharing even their most vulnerable moments. This approach not only facilitates healing but also fosters a strong therapeutic alliance, which is crucial for lasting change and growth. In addition to creating a supportive environment, I also bring expertise in various therapeutic modalities to the table. Whether it's cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and reality choice therapy, I am confident in my ability to help clients overcome their challenges and develop healthy coping strategies. My goal is to empower clients to recognize their own strengths and resources, so that they can continue to grow and thrive long after our time together has ended. Ultimately, my commitment to providing compassionate, personalized care sets me apart as a mental health therapist. I am honored to share in my clients' journeys and look forward to helping them achieve their emotional well-being and overall quality of life.

I was trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the State of Texas and continue to utilize CBT in my practice today. I was promoted to a supervisory position for the Assertive Community Treatment Team and led a team of 13 case managers, nurses, and LCDCs, who worked with clients who were high utilizers of the local mental health hospitals and were in crisis often. I was the lead counselor for the team. and was trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy to assist our clients with the trauma they have endured and taught them to challenge the negative thoughts they had about themselves regarding the trauma. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming to help those who have lived through a traumatic event that is causing distress in their lives, or clients who endure distress they find difficult to handle.

Hi! Do you feel like you can improve your life; relationships, emotional stability, productivity, education, spirituality and health? I am here to guide you to find a balanced life and help you be the best you can be. I will use a whole self approach to address the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. Together we will find your balance by addressing the most pressing issues and continue to push through those obstacles holding you back and keeping you stuck. I am highly trained in research based therapeutic methods and also experienced through my own struggles and victories. I have worked with adolescents and youth for more than 28 years and I have also worked with children, families and adults. I work with the premise of unconditional positive regard towards my clients. The idea that mistakes can be corrected, faults can be forgiven and second chances is what makes us human. I believe in practicing learned skills, setting attainable goals, and celebrating small wins.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) with over 15 years of experience in mental health. My career spans various roles, including program therapist for inpatient and outpatient treatment programs, manager of a geriatric behavioral health unit in a rural community, and as department director in a critical care mental health hospital. Throughout my years in the field, I noticed that many individuals struggling with mental health challenges lacked essential skills—whether in communication, emotional regulation, or behavioral management. This realization led me to establish my private practice, where I focus on equipping individuals with evidence-based skills to enhance their mental well-being.
