I am an SMU counseling graduate.I have worked several years with mentally ill clients having Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety and Schizophrenia. I have also worked with at risk youth, Gifted and Talented, autism, and children going through adjustments. I use a mixture of EMDR and ACT. I believe that we have much less control over our thoughts and feelings than we would like to believe so my focus with clients is action because our behaviors are one thing that we have significant control over. If you want to feel differently, you have to behave differently, and I will help you create a plan to do just that!

Throughout my life, I’ve had many experiences that contributed to my love of counseling and my role as a therapist, they have led to a passionate belief that everyone’s story is important and giving a voice to those stories is invaluable. I began my career as a teacher in the U.S. and abroad, and have over 15 years of experience in international non-profit work. I grew to love hearing other’s stories and saw the healing power of true relationships. I eventually returned to school to become a counselor and turned my passion into a path for healing, and I consider it an honor to do the work I do.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and phobias, as well as children and teens with self-esteem and behavioral problems, providing them with a safe and enjoyable environment.

I work with people who feel disconnected from themselves. For many reasons, you may have found ways to protect yourself from painful feelings or people who might hurt you. Often, these ways of protecting yourself led you to now feeling disconnected from yourself. I believe that your mental health struggles aren't pathological. What I see is ways you have adapted to survive difficulties in life that have in turn created challenges for you, like relationship issues, struggles with emotional intimacy, anxiety and panic attacks, career burnout, and/or using food or alcohol in ways that make you feel ashamed.

I have practiced for more than 25 years. I treat individuals and families, marriages, and children, as well as chronic pain patients. I teach skills, and prepare individualized treatment plans which integrate your goals and the skills you can practice to achieve your goals. I also do assessments, for ADHD, learning differences, and personality testing. I use cognitive rational therapy to assist you in working toward your goals as efficiently as you choose.

Do you struggle with a sexual trauma? Do you have childhood trauma? Are you battling an eating disorder? Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? Are you reeling from grief or loss? Do you have problems with self-esteem and/or identity? If so, you have probably tried to conquer it yourself. You may have been told to “buck up” or “get it together.” But, try as you might, you can’t. Of course, you can’t. That would be like telling someone with a broken leg to “walk it off.” You need help. You need an understanding, empathetic, trained Christian counselor to come alongside you and help you face your issue, root out the cause

Have you been told you’re too sensitive or too emotional?  You don't understand why your emotions feel so intense, why things bother you so much, or why you overthink and overanalyze.  You wonder why life often feels so overwhelming and overstimulating. You think that if you could just be more like everyone else, life would be easier and things would improve.  You long for close relationships but even that feels difficult and complicated at times.  You want to understand why you are so different and you don't want life to feel so hard.

I believe that each individual holds the key to changing their own story. My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to create a safe and collaborative space for you where you can transform negative thinking patterns and destructive behaviors into positive outcomes.
