I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2002 and my Master of Arts in Counseling in 2005 from West Texas A&M University. I worked as a children's case manager at Texas MHMR from 2006 - 2009. During that time, I also worked in Juvenile Probation through that agency. In 2010, I began working at Northwest Texas Healthcare System on October 4, 2010 until late 2023. I worked there in the inpatient psychiatric hospital with individuals and groups discussing chemical dependency, relaxation, depression, and anxiety issues. In this setting, I worked with CIS and LGBTQA+ population. I worked with small children up to elderly individuals. I enjoyed the work there and was able to work independently and with other coworkers efficiently. I began online counseling work in 2001. I consider myself an eclectic therapist as I do not believe every individual learns with just one way of therapy. I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic, mindfulness, relaxation, and Gestalt therapy techniques.
During sessions, PLEASE DO NOT BE DRIVING or out in a public place surrounded by other people. Your safety and privacy are important to me. Session will need to be rescheduled if you are driving, or are a passenger in any type of vehicle, at time of already scheduled appointment.
At this time, I only work with adults from 18 years of age and up. Thank you.
