I wholeheartedly believe in a persons ability to change, grow, and heal. I know patterns of behavior and responses can feel automatic, familiar, and even comforting at times. Growth can feel painful and vulnerable, which is why I am dedicated to providing the space needed to explore the dynamics of your experience and find what is needed to feel empowered and fulfilled. I understand the impacts trauma, anxiety, and addiction can have on various aspects of our lives and our internal beliefs. Beginning therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, but I am here to guide you in exploration and finding a pace that feels safe and secure. My main motivation for therapy is for you to find the freedom desired in order to live your most productive life. When working with me, you will feel valued, witnessed, and empowered. Trust is the foundation of any therapeutic relationship and I honor this above all else. I look forward to walking along side you as you make this brave decision. I have over five years of experience with individuals, adolescents, children, group therapy and couples. I have experience working in Outpatient and Residential programs with an emphasis on trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and Substance Use Disorder. I am a graduate of Texas Tech University with a BA in Human Development and Family Studies. After graduating and working with the State for several years, I found I wanted to help people in a more personal and in-depth manner. I decided to continue my education at John F. Kennedy University in California where I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology. I know everyone’s healing journey looks different and we as humans need different support for our individual experiences. For this reason, I draw from various modalities to find what best suits your goals, values, strengths, and personality. I am currently an EMDR Certified Therapist through EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).
