What am I licensed in? Where did I get my training? What is my experience?

I am currently licensed in Texas and Colorado with 15 years of professional work experience in the field of counseling. I obtained my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Southwestern Theological Seminary and my PhD in Counseling from the University of North Texas. I have worked in college and university settings as well as community clinics and private practice. Although I have experience working with many clients including children, adolescents, and adults and groups and I enjoy working with all clients interested in their healing journey, I have the most experience working with women as they heal from trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression.

How would we work together and how can I help?

I believe in treating everyone with respect, understanding and compassion. As we work together I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

How will we do that?

We will spend initial time establishing a relationship and understanding your concerns. We will identify what you want to focus on in our time and work together to meet those goals. I have enjoyed learning a number of therapies to meet unique needs of each client. Most of the time my practice includes aspects of strength-based, trauma-informed therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Experiential, positive psychology, and Family systems. Sometimes we will use specific techniques such as psychoeducation, CBT exercises, Experiential and Expressive Arts, to assist you in understanding yourselves, your worldview of others and the world around you. However, the goal in helping goes beyond self-exploration and understanding, it is also to provide you with information, to cultivate awareness, equip and empower so you are even more resilient and readied to take another step towards healing and wholeness or maybe even to rebuild your perspective, restore your purpose and to renew your hope.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & encourage you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
