Licensed Professional Counselor in Waco, TX

About My Clients

As a clinician, I have served best clients interested in taking a collaborative, holistic approach to healing. I have worked best with clients interested in better managing trauma responses, utilizing EMDR, TF-CBT, and attachment-informed modalities to create a greater understanding of self, others, and triggers. If you are interested in working together, utilize the online scheduler or email with any questions. Looking forward to getting started on your goals together!

My Background and Approach

My background is in trauma-informed modalities working with individuals, children, families, and couples to deliver individualized treatment plans. I have worked in community agencies delivering in-home services to families in conflict and women who are pregnant and postpartum with mental health concerns and/or stressors. I believe in the inherent ability for us to move toward wellness if we can identify roadblocks and leverage resources (relational or internal) to diminish or remove those blocks. I have primarily focused my practice on treating childhood and relational trauma and feel I work especially well with individuals who are interested in building greater self-awareness. I also work well with clients who feel they are looking to connect with a fellow human also striving to create a purposeful, meaningful life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Personally, I have been through my own years of therapy with different therapists utilizing different styles. I have needed to utilize mental health support for my own wellbeing and therefore feel it is important to decrease the stigma around seeking treatment. I believe in the innate goodness of people and in the power of secure relationships, and strong internal resources. I like to work with people's strengths and work diligently to bring my best self to the therapy room because I believe this work we do together matters!
