As an LPC and EMDR Certified Therapist, it is my goal to assist clients in addressing mental health and behavior issues that may be preventing them from living the life they desire. I provide a warm, collaborative, and safe environment that encourages the client to be in control of the focus and direction of therapy. I use a variety of approaches, but primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to help clients identify and challenge negative thought and behavior patterns, as well as reprocess past trauma. I have worked in in-patient and out-patient settings with clients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. I received my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology in 2005 and am licensed through the state of Texas. I have experience working with clients who are struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. I have also worked as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor to assist individuals to overcome obstacles that prevented them from employment. I have experience providing individual, group, and family therapy and offer counseling services to adults.
