Through active listening, gentle guidance, and tailored interventions, I empower individuals to gain self-awareness and take confident steps toward improved mental wellness.

With over 20 years of experience working with children and families facing severe emotional and behavioral challenges, I view my work as both a passion and a calling. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to help individuals build resilience, strengthen relationships, and find strategies that fit their unique needs through a compassionate, client-centered approach. I hold an MS and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

I bring a sensitive, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and genuine approach to therapy, creating a safe and accepting environment for growth and healing. I am passionate about helping patients overcome life's challenges by building on their strengths and developing healthy coping strategies. I tailor each session and treatment plan to a patient's unique strengths and goals, integrating solution-focused therapy, CBT, DBT, psychoeducation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and expressive arts to support personal growth and internal healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Prescott College, licensed in Arizona, Colorado, and Virginia.

My diverse experience includes roles as a primary, family, adventure, equine, crisis, and expressive arts therapist in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as private practice.

I feel strongly about treating each client as a unique individual and meeting them wherever they are on their mental health journey. I am committed to creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. While I provide a holistic, individualized treatment approach, I have a strong background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I am compassionate and direct, encouraging clients to challenge and reframe distorted thoughts while reinforcing positive adaptive behaviors. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief and loss issues.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California and New Mexico. I have been in the mental health field for over 24 years in a variety of clinical settings. Early in my career, I worked in an inpatient psychiatric hospital on the child and adolescent unit. Most recently, I have spent over a decade in the private practice setting working with adults. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Grief Educator.

My main goal is to build rapport and to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for all to feel comfortable when expressing how they feel, no matter what the topic of discussion may be. I enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when explaining the importance of how our thoughts have an impact on our emotions and our behaviors/actions. I also practice client-centered and DBT approaches within therapy.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I attended Baruch College in New York City, where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree, and I received my Master of Arts degree in Psychology from Brandman University in Monterey, California. While working towards my goal to become a licensed Therapist, I completed 3000 supervised clinical hours. I have been a part of the Mental Health field since 2016.

I have experience working with clients of all ages, backgrounds, and mental and physical health concerns.

I have provided individual and group therapeutic services, depending on what is most suitable for that specific person.

I am a Christian counselor and believe people have need of mind/body/spirit balance to address the emotional pain, psychological turmoil, and physical challenges in life. I meet individuals where they are and, with the focus of accomplishing the wellness goals of the individual, answer the need for therapeutic interventions. I use a variety of modalities dependent on the needs of the patient, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Christ Centered Christian Counseling Intervention. Patients should be aware that I specialize in straightforwardness and application of the structure of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Patients are of the utmost importance when receiving therapy and are the key to mental health intervention and thereby change. I respect the wishes of patients with target goals and behaviors, while also providing support, care, and help. I acknowledge and am knowledgeable about getting to the heart of problems, issues, and concerns and identifying what is best in the patient's opinion to address, then addressing them. I typically address the dynamics of a therapeutic relationship with patients, along with asking and assessing what patients hope to obtain or accomplish in therapy, and I discuss each clinical step taken to get to the accomplishments of the patient.

I received my bachelor's from the University of Kansas and my master's from the University of Missouri, and I continue educational opportunities in counseling/therapy and theology. I have decades of experience collaborating with patients providing mental health care and interventions to facilitate health and wellness, and I have worked in all aspects of mental health ranging from crisis care to rehabilitation. I have a great depth of community service connections and resources to link individuals in the community and an opportunity to extend support networks for greater health.

I combine evidence-based therapies including ACT, CBT, DBT, EFT, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed approaches. Sessions focus on helping clients process emotions, develop coping skills, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to support clients in managing life challenges, improving mental wellness, and cultivating self-love and resilience.

I pride myself on creating a non-judgmental and healing environment that allows for self-discovery and assists clients in identifying their authentic selves. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma (including Narcissistic Abuse), and grief. I believe in fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel empowered to set and achieve meaningful goals. From a holistic perspective, I incorporate techniques such as identifying strengths, mindfulness, polyvagal techniques, challenging core belief systems, early childhood, and attachment types to heal the mind, body, and spirit. I have experience in many methods and techniques, ensuring that my approach integrates evidence-based practices with experiential techniques which are tailored to each client's unique needs to allow for nervous system regulation and a sense of safety within themselves.

I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Nebraska-Omaha (2008) and am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with 16 years of experience in the mental health field.

When not working with clients, I enjoy being outdoors, reading, and spending time with my husband, son, and two dogs.

I am a solution-focused therapist who provides insight from a non-biased and compassionate perspective, helping clients create practical solutions for life transitions and personal healing. I integrate Gottman techniques to strengthen communication between couples and apply family systems theory to help families identify and improve maladaptive patterns and behaviors. My approach encourages introspection and self-compassion, empowering clients to focus on what is within their control while fostering growth and resilience.

I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma and have over eleven years of experience supporting children, families, and couples. I have worked with the courts, including mental health and substance abuse programs, and with families involved in child protective and adoption services. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations.

In the initial session, I work to build rapport and trust while gaining a clear understanding of each client's needs. I collaborate with clients to identify small, achievable steps toward their goals and use these to guide the development of individualized treatment plans that promote meaningful progress and lasting change.

I offer a safe, supportive environment where individuals can process deeply personal experiences without fear of judgment. My warm, compassionate approach ensures each story feels valued and respected, fostering trust and connection from the very first session. I begin by gaining a thorough understanding of a patient's history, current concerns, and goals for therapy, then collaborate with patients to create a personalized treatment plan, integrating evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, CBT, IFS, psychoeducation, and mindfulness-based interventions to promote healing and growth.

I have experience providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care to adults and couples in both outpatient and inpatient settings, with advanced training in trauma-focused therapies, including EMDR, as well as grief and relational conflict. I earned a Master of Education and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Psychology, and I hold licensure as an LMHC.

I value open communication and help clients set clear treatment goals. I foster a collaborative environment using narrative counseling, Internal Family Systems, and "parts work" to help clients re-story their experiences. I also offer EFT Tapping for trauma, anxiety, depression, and pain. I work from the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and promote self-determination through Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Energy Psychology. I begin by understanding what brings clients to therapy and building a strong therapeutic relationship.

My approach is holistic, supportive, and designed to empower clients to recognize their strengths and motivation for meaningful change.

I have a particular passion and specialty in working with the LGBTQ population, and I also enjoy helping patients address depression and mood concerns, anxiety disorders, trauma, self-criticism and shame, grief and loss, major life transitions, social discontent, and medical conditions such as HIV/AIDS. I work with adults across the lifespan and strive to create an affirming and inclusive therapeutic environment. My work with each patient is individualized and guided by their needs and collaboratively defined goals. Patients can expect a warm, authentic, and direct therapeutic style. My approach is primarily skills-based, most often drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, within a client-centered and attachment-focused relationship. Therapy often explores how perspective, assumptions, and self-narratives contribute to distress, with practical action plans to support growth. I view therapy as a collaborative process aimed at meaningful change and a more fulfilling, values-driven life.
