What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I'm a very warm, friendly person. I'm a natural listener and try to have sessions that feel life-giving for my clients. We may laugh together, we may cry together, but you will absolutely feel heard and valued. I'm also very real. Sometimes my dog will bark, so I have no problem when your littles or pets pop onto the screen.
I have a big heart. I've volunteered with justice-involved youth, mentored young adults, and been active in my community. I always say that I've counseled everyone from pastor's wives to formerly incarcerated addicts, and I find the beauty of humanity in each and every person. I offer a safe place that is judgment free so you can feel free to be yourself.
I'm also a wife and mom of teens. I watch Marvel movies and Star Wars, play Call of Duty with my son, and visit farmer's markets with my daughter.
I get it! On the outside, maybe you seem fine. You’re balancing everything life throws at you...but there are times when you’re overwhelmed. You feel like whatever you do, it doesn’t seem to be “enough.” Everyone around you seems to be happier, more put together, and you can't figure out why. You spend so much effort pushing feelings away, that you’re not enjoying life. It doesn't have to be this way. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, stressful relationships, parenting, depression, or grief, there's a path towards joy and calm!
Asking for help can be scary, but don’t worry! I’ve got you! I want to work with you to let go of the dark cloud that hangs over you so you can enjoy life again (or maybe for the first time). I use evidence-based therapies and tailor your treatment to you. I specialize in counseling for teens, young adults, women, first responders, and veterans, and can provide Christian counseling, but treat people from all backgrounds.
My clients tell me that they've never felts so safe and cared for than in our therapy sessions. You don't have to feel alone in this any more. I offer a FREE 15 minute consultation for you to get to know me and to make sure you feel comfortable.
I received my Masters of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas and trained at the Veteran's Health Administration in the PTSD Clinic. I also provided school-based mental health to high school students, worked in a group practice treating individuals and couples, and have led grief groups and camps. I'm an active volunteer for justice and to make the world a safer, kinder place for everyone.
