My Journey

Having personally experienced the transformative power of therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to take that first step toward healing. I want to give back what was so generously given to me by others who took a chance on my growth. My own journey has made me even more committed to supporting those who are ready to make changes in their lives. Therapy is a big step, and I deeply admire anyone who is seeking help. I am here to walk with you on your path to recovery, healing, and self-discovery. Together, we can work toward your goals and help you move forward in your personal journey. I am honored to be a part of that process.

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a deep passion for helping others navigate the complexities of life. My approach integrates a variety of therapy modalities to support individuals in overcoming challenges related to substance abuse, trauma, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues and transgender-related issues.

Expertise & Specializations

With over 17 years of specialized experience in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use; you can heal, learn to cope, and gain tools to get through whatever it is that is bringing you to seek therapy. You may not be fully ready; however, I will meet you where you're at and guide you in working through whatever challenges are in your way.

I'm a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) and Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in the state of Texas. I serve as a board approved LPC supervisor and enjoy helping LPC-Associates learn and grow in the field. I am trained in Prolonged Exposure Therapy through the University of Pennsylvania and was trained by Dr. Elna Yadin who works directly with the founder of PE therapy. I am also trained in EMDR, and completed my training under Dr. Christie Sprowls. I have an extensive history in treating all types of trauma to include combat trauma, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, relationship trauma, grief/loss trauma etc.

As an LCDC, I also have years of training working with alcohol and drug use, and have worked with clients in residential treatment, detox, and outpatient capacities. I have been working in an inpatient setting treatment active duty service members for the last 14 years and treat a wide variety of issues. I now want to extend my experience into private practice and help others walk the road of recovery.
