You may have come to this site because you're hurting, dealing with issues of life that you just can't seem to figure out, or simply searching for a safe place to share your thoughts and the things that are on your heart and mind. Or maybe you're facing disappointment, anger, or resentment, and at times you feel like you want to throw in the towel. There is good news... I am here to walk with you and help you move from merely surviving to thriving! I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have somebody that they can be transparent with and receive insight oriented feedback about what is troubling them in their lives. Helping people connect the dots and discover the purpose in those life events and experiences is what I believe is the key to a better life. By coming here it means that you have taken the 1st step to getting better and I would be happy to help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate from Barry University and Bachelor's and Master's degree from The University of Texas @ Arlington with over 15 years of varied experience working with children, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings providing both long term and brief interventions. Areas of expertise include: Anxiety & Depression, Relationship challenges, Family conflict, Phases of life changes, and next steps. I welcome clients with these particular struggles. I use a variety of therapeutic tools and tailor treatment to the individual, couple, or family. I believe that change happens when people are given the insight they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling, happy lives and get back to the "normal" that we all desire. In my free time I love traveling, spending time with my family, and giving back through various service projects in my community. Helping people is my passion and helping you would give me joy!

I have been a therapist since 2014 when I graduated with my masters degree in social work from North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. After graduating with my bachelors in social work in 2012 and working for a year at a homeless shelter, I knew there was more that I wanted to be doing, which led me back to school to continue my education. I finished all of my clinical hours for licensure in April of 2018, which is when I became an LCSW. I have worked at three different outpatient mental health centers during my time of practice, all which served different ages, diagnoses, and stages of life. The majority of my experience comes in working with individuals learning to cope with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, trauma, abuse, parenting issues, life transitions, relational issues and grief and loss. I may be the “therapist,” but no one knows you like you do, and that is why I make it a priority to make sure we use my expertise, as well as yours to make sure we get you where you want to be! I traditionally come from a strengths based background/approach for this reason. I have taken certified courses in Trauma Focused CBT, and in treating Anxiety. I can’t promise I won’t respectfully try to challenge you throughout this process, but you have the power to choose what feels right for you. I understand that this is a difficult spot to be in, and that the thought of needing “therapy” can sometimes seem unnecessary, but I really hope that you can look at this like a partnership where I can provide you with certain tools that will help you on your journey. There is no such thing as a stupid question, a ridiculous thought, or a reason to be embarrassed. Everyone handles stress and life transitions differently, and if it weren’t for that we wouldn’t have the uniqueness that helps us all accelerate at different things. I am honored to get to hear your story, and to be your sounding board at this time of transition.

I am a Marriage, Couples, and Family counselor who is currently licensed in the state of Texas. I have 11 years of experience working with individuals across the age span addressing issues related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues (parenting, couples), behavior issues, anger, and ADHD. My counseling style is open and collaborative. I believe in treating others with respect and creating a space of honesty and trust. My approach to therapy involves using evidenced- based therapeutic models while taking a person-centered approach to meet your needs. I will work to ensure that our plan to treatment will be collaborative and individualized to meet your needs. This is the first step to healing and I am here to encourage and support you through this journey. I look forward to joining you in this process. Welcome to growth!

“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” – Helen Keller I strive to empower my clients to reach their goals and live more meaningful lives. When we are able to find meaning in our suffering, we break free from our self-made prisons and adopt more adaptive perspectives of our problems. Increasing awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be a pathway to this freedom as we uncover the impact that these subconscious domains have on our happiness. It takes a lot of courage to ask for the help that you need, so give yourself credit for taking that first step here. I received my Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Texas Woman's University in 2012 and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from The University of Texas at Arlington in 2006. My Master's thesis explored the relationships between Depression, Resilience, and Coping Strategies. Currently, I conduct extensive research in the area of Health Psychology, focusing on Behavioral Sleep Medicine. To build on my holistic view of treatment, I completed training through the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals to become a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist. Most recently, I have specialized in seeing clients with binge-eating disorder and substance use disorder. I have also been an invited lecturer on the subjects of eating disorders, mindfulness, and meditation. I integrate many theoretical orientations into treatment with emphases on cognitive-behavioral, emotion-focused, and person-centered approaches. Combining different approaches allows me to utilize various therapeutic techniques based on unique needs of individual clients. I also focus on clients' strengths in order to facilitate development of their full potential.

Hello, and welcome. I am primarily an emotional release therapist, but have training in CBT / DBT / EFT and other modalities... I have worked as a therapist for public mental health facilities for over 7 years, and have worked with psych hospitals exclusively for the last 8 years, but I miss having direct contact with clients, vs working behind the scenes on their behalves. I have worked with a wide range of clients, from ADHD to OCD to just about everything in between, but my favorite populations are hoarders, those with depression, and people who have suffered serious trauma, such as first responders, or victims of trauma. My favorite technique to use is one that combines the CLIENT'S FAITH BASE (belief in a higher power, prayer), with some ENERGY WORK. It is effective and quick, and most of the people I've worked with have seen resolution within 1-3 sessions. Please bear in mind, that you may need longer than that, based on your trauma and duration, but as this is so quick and effective, It's my preferred method for getting you up and out of the trenches so that you can start approaching your life from a more balanced standpoint. Once your "stuck" points are worked out, then we can continue therapy from a more educational standpoint, where you'll learn techniques, strategies and skills. Welcome.... I'm glad you're here.... Let's get started....
