Your hurts and challenges don't have to leave you feeling stuck and helpless, struggling to maintain zest for life or healthy relationships. You may be walking through life with so many heavy burdens that leave you feeling defeated and isolated. Healing is possible through caring for the needs of your mind, body, and spirit as we process through your experiences together. There is hope for change, to feel empowered to not just survive but to thrive. My previous experience includes counseling women and children in the Domestic Violence Unit at The Salvation Army in Dallas and serving as a Resident Assistant at the Poiema Foundation’s safe home for women rehabilitating from commercial sexual exploitation. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. While my early experience primarily focused on individuals with complex trauma, I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, personality and mood disorders, and couples from working in the private practice setting. I am a Certified Facilitator of Prepare Enrich, the top research-based tool for pre-marital and marital assessment for more than 40 years. I'm passionate about helping people through the process of counseling by utilizing a wholistic approach to care for your mind, body and spirit grounded in a Biblical worldview. I believe every person has incredible worth and can live an abundant life. I look forward to walking alongside you, empowering you on your journey of healing so that you can thrive.
