My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through real life experiences, that directly or indirectly caused one trauma or a significant amount of stress. I possess an ability to connect with an individual, regardless of what differences we may have, we have life in common. My educational background includes a M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, as well as a B.A. in Early Childhood Education.

I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I have been trained in a range of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (including Trauma Focused CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy, Substance Use and Abuse (Addiction), Play Therapy, and have a collective applied experience of 7 years.

My therapeutic goal in life is to help people learn how to love themselves, period!! Some days, it's easier to love yourself versus some other days, but I believe the journey is part of the fun, and by fun, I do mean peeling back the complex layers of our inner self and putting in the effort to be the best possible version of ourselves.
