I started my private practice in June of 2006, but my experience in counseling related settings began years prior. I have worked in several settings with a wide range of clientele, which have given me the ability to provide assistance and guidance in numerous areas such as trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, and grief, just to name a few. I am also a certified first responder counselor and have great compassion and respect for this profession.
In 2008, I became a Board Approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas. I provide both individual and group supervision for LPC Associates in the state of Texas. This allows me to help others move forward in improving and strengthening their abilities to become great therapists. I am also an EMDRIA Approved consultant and provide individual and group consultations for EMDR trained clinicians looking to complete EMDR certification.
I am a certified EMDR therapist that provides standard EMDR therapy (60-90 minutes), as well as EMDR Intensive therapy which gives clients the ability to process and heal in a much shorter amount of time. I also utilize other evidence-based modalities depending on issues being addressed. Some of these include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, internal family systems, and Person Centered Therapy. Together, we will determine what type of counseling would be beneficial for you.
The most important aspect for me is to provide a place where a relationship can be established and my clients feel supported and welcomed. I hope to show my clients they have the ability to reach their full potential and know there are people who want to understand and help them live the life they fully deserve.
