Everyone has worries and problems and at times we all need help navigating them. If life’s problems are more than you can manage on your own, if you're holding onto worries that you just can't let go — whether it’s anxiety, grief, or the feeling that nothing feels right, then maybe it is time to do something different. I work with adults who want to feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful, offering a compassionate, client‐centered approach that meets you where you are.” I too was once in the same position and finally reached out for the assistance I needed to put my life back into order. I encourage you to do the same.

I began my journey in counseling with my own recovery from PTSD and Alcoholism in 2005. I received an AA degree in Substance Abuse Counseling from Amarillo College, I then moved to Missouri and obtained a BS in Psychology from Missouri University of Science and Technology and then competed my academic studies with a MA in counseling from Webster University.

I use a multi-theoretical approach to therapy and am formally trained in several therapeutic theories such as Acceptance and Commitment, Reality, and Dialectical Behavioral to name a few. I am also an avid student of different philosophies such as Stoicism and Buddhism, and I bring thoughts and ideas from all of these into my therapeutic style

My first sessions are usually low key. This session is a time for us to get to know each other and decide if we are a good fit to work together on the problems in life that have brought us together. I also try to get a sense of what concerns you have and begin laying out a road map of what you would like to get out of therapy as well as how I can assist you.
