After earning a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Houston at Clear Lake, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #75901) and Licensed Chemical Dependency (LCDC# 13821) Counselor. Continuing my education, I became proficitient in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR therapy) for trauma and anxiety. I have experience providing individual, family, and group psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. My areas of specialty include treating complex trauma, depression, anxiety, helping clients cope with self-injurious thoughts and behaviors, and suicidal ideation. I have also worked with survivors of sexual assault and family violence utilizing different modalities of trauma therapy. I work with couples to improve boundaries and communication.

I use a client-centered, holistic approach which means that the sessions are collaborative. I meet you exactly where you are in your process. Together , we will tailor your treatment to target areas for growth and recovery. Here’s what you can expect: We schedule a 15 minute phone call to see if we are a good fit. We begin to build a therapeutic alliance which will be the foundation for all of our work. Know that I am always on your side to navigate the best possible solutions for your personalized treatment. Then we develop the treatment plan based on your needs. Treatment is not a set limit. Some clients require only a few months to target a goal and reach it. We can review that when discussing treatment plan.
My training includes Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment therapy and a certification in Eye Movement Desensitizatin and Reprocessing (EMDR) among my other skills.

My training includes Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment therapy and a certification in Eye Movement Desensitizatin and Reprocessing (EMDR) among my other skills. I have worked extensively with trauma in school settings with adolescents and teens, domestic violence and sexual assault in shelter and substance use treatment facilities with adults. I am able to supplement and integrate harm reduction strategies with 12-step recovery and have aided clients with trauma and addiction struggles. I have also assisted couples in conflict resolution and setting healthy boundaries.
