As an LPC, specializing in individual, couples and family therapy, I have thoroughly enjoyed my “life work” as a therapist for over 14 years.  I am a proud graduate of Oral Roberts University and believe in the concept of providing support for the whole person; mind, body and spirit.  I am currently serving in private practice working with a broad spectrum of clients and my expertise include; trauma, family conflict, anxiety, depression, self harm, life transitions and grief. 

I have received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy facilitated by Dr. James Pretzer of the Cleveland Center for Cognitive Therapy; Trauma Based Treatment with Dr. David Burns of Stanford University and my personal love for knowledge keeps me current in best treatment practices.  As a clinician, I thrive off of a genuine care for clients and I am culturally competent to work with clients of various cultural and socio-economical backgrounds.  I am very intuitive and have a natural way of establishing a rapport with others to aid in fostering a therapeutic alliance with the individuals that I work with. 

As a solution-focused therapist, my therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges.   With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing. 

As a person I value; my faith and family, am an avid reader and enjoy documentaries and musical scores. My favorite sights are in nature, my favorite sounds are water sounds, my favorite tastes are chai and matcha teas and I enjoy meaningful conversations with people of every hue.
