About Me
I believe that every person wants to and is capable of living a fulfilling and positive life; they only need to remove the barriers. Utilizing a person-centered approach, I will work with you towards your individualized goals and help you to access your full potential.
My practice is grounded in attachment theory and my areas of expertise and passions include trauma, family of origin work, drug and alcohol abuse, and relational therapy.
I have specialized training in EMDR, Trauma-informed yoga, Perinatal mental health, mindfulness techniques, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
I completed my Master's Degree in Community Counseling at the University of Houston-Victoria. I have since worked in a variety of settings, including residential care, drug rehabilitation centers, outpatient therapy, and children's therapy.
