I am driven to help clients who are being challenged with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship struggles, self-esteem, stress, suicidal ideation, trauma/PTSD, adoption issues and more. I like to use an integrative approach to therapy to suit treatment for each unique client. I am also an EMDR trained therapist.

Through my life experiences as someone who has endured trauma and someone who has helped others through difficulties I have learned that everyone has hurts, habits, and/or hang-ups that they need guidance with. A guiding philosophy for me as a counselor is expressed through this quote by Rumi: “Be a lamp, or lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal.”

I graduated from Florida College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and minored in Biblical Studies. I achieved my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lubbock Christian University. I have worked in education and Christian ministry, and family services for over 20 years. In those 20 years I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in various stages of life. I currently work with clients age 11 and up. I will work with individuals, couples, and groups.
