Best Version of Yourself
I am a Christian and a licensed professional counselor licensed in the state of Texas. I have a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry that I earned at the University of Texas-Austin in 1992. I decided later in life to go back to school and become a counselor. By then, I had a husband and family, so I decided to attend an online program at Liberty University in Virginia. I graduated in December 2012, and began my internship working in an outpatient setting helping people with mental health disorders, including substance abuse, depression, anxiety, anger, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
I became fully licensed in October 2015, I continued working in that setting until February 2019, when I began working as an independent provider. I have experience with individuals of all ages, with couples, and with families; however, I am currently focusing on working with adults individually online. My approach is person-centered and I use cognitive-behavioral therapy or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients.
I enjoy helping and look forward to helping you in your journey to being the best version of yourself.
