I completed my LCAS-A master’s degree with Grand Canyon the University of Phoenix AZ. I graduated from Abilene Christian University, where I studied to become an MFT specializing in trauma. I have over 6 years of clinical experience across various settings including outpatient therapy, outpatient specialty clinics (Medication Assistance Treatment), crisis intervention, and structured outpatient programs. I have a range of clinical experience working with individuals and groups during my professional career in the following areas:

• Depression
• Substance Use Disorder
• Anxiety Disorders
• Anger and Stress Management
• Trauma and Abuse
• Family and Relationship Issues
• Harm Reduction
• Suicide Assessment and Risk Reduction
• Couple’s Conflict
• Self-image and Self-Esteem Issues

My approach emphasizes the mutual development of goals for therapy and the provision of ongoing evaluation of the therapeutic approach. Services provided include individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Harm Reduction, Motivation Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Strengthening Families, Brief Triple P for Adolescents and Teens, and Peer Support Specialist. I am particularly concerned with the impact of loss due to opioid overdose and trauma. I’m an advocate for improving interventions to support trauma recovery for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.
