Sometimes we find ourselves feeling depressed from our past, anxious about our future, and unable to live in the present. This was me for the majority of my younger adult life, struggling to get through each day. I was riddled with anxiety, unhappy with how my life was going and found myself repeating unhealthy patterns. To be present in the moment was an impossible task and to try to change my life-path felt daunting. Masking helped for a while, but eventually it only increased my symptoms. I hit a point in my life where change was necessary. Tired of making choices that were not benefiting my future self, I decided to seek the guidance of a professional. Once I committed to doing the work, I was able to begin peeling away those layers of negative experiences that were weighing me down. I started to connect and understand the patterns of learned behavior that affected me both as a child and into adulthood. Through my healing process I was able to begin creating positive changes in my life, finally finding freedom from those tangled roots of my past. I learned how to love and accept myself for the true me... not who others expected me to be. I learned how to nurture and grow those relationships that brought in positivity, aligned with my morals and values, and were supportive of my growth. I also learned how to let go of the superficial relationships that did not positively support my journey. Through the help of a great therapist I had finally discovered my unapologetically authentic self. It felt so great I wanted to empower others to do the same. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, earned from Texas A&M University in Commerce, Texas. I bring a wealth of training and expertise to my practice including complex trauma training, EMDR Therapy training (EMDRIA), DBT training, certification in Gender-Affirming Mental Health Assessments, and recognition as a Nationally Certified Counselor by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I strive to provide a non-judgmental space that is culturally sensitive, allowing you to explore those deeper layers which create your unique self, whatever that may look like. My hope for you is to begin to heal so you can untangle the messiness of life and find more balance within your mind and body, discovering your inner peace, and creating more pleasure into your life. Let’s embark on this journey together, working towards becoming the best version of yourself!
