I am really glad you contacted Betterhelp. I am optimistic, over the course of our times together you will come to trust me and see me more as a partner, helping you find peace and reaching your goals. When I have clients face to face in my office, I tell them during the first session, “This is the safest room in Texas.” You can say anything you want to say, anyway you want to say it. I will never judge you. I would like to come along side you and provide support and encouragement. Hopefully, during our times together you will find the insight you need to accomplish your life goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Texas and in Missouri. I earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Human Services and a Master's of Arts degree in Counseling from Evangel University. I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families over the course of my career. I am well experienced in trauma and PTSD. During the first week after the Joplin, MO F5 tornado in 2011, I was the lead counselor for the American Red Cross Shelter. Serving as a a counselor in the aftermath of many natural disasters has been very fulfilling. In 2018 I was onsite and provided counseling services in the aftermath of the school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas resulting in the deaths of 10 students and teachers. It has been a privilege to conduct workshops and set on conference panels for trauma and counseling. I am also an adjunct professor for my alma mater teaching courses on psychology, human services, personal relationships, sociology, etc. I believe strongly that you are your own expert. No one knows you like you know yourself. I believe you have everything you need inside of you to work out the issues you are bringing into these sessions. My role will be to listen closely to what you say. As I listen, I will from time to time encourage you to further explain or go deeper into the matter you are discussing. Sometimes I might ask questions to help you think deeper about something you said, or to explore alternatives to your thoughts and feelings. Processing your own thoughts can be an emotional and strange activity. It will be really imperative for you to be honest during our times together. This is not so I can know the truth, but rather for you to explore the truth yourself and not hide things from yourself. It is important to be honest with ourselves in order to find the answers and ultimately the peace we are looking for in ourselves.

Hello & Welcome! I am very happy that you have found my profile on BetterHelp. I am currently licensed in the state of Texas as an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have lived on and off in Texas since high school and my graduation from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. My primary training is as an Art Therapist from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois. Since graduating from SIUE, I have worked for over 20 years providing adult, adolescent, and children's therapy to individuals seeking help and support through counseling. I have worked in adult community mental health settings, where I provided both individual and group therapy to those individuals affected by anxiety, depression, mood swings, and other issues related to wanting to live their best life - only needing help and support to recover and grow! I have also worked with individuals affected by trauma such as domestic violence and other types of interpersonal or partner violence. Whether in Illinois, or Texas, I have continued to grow as a professional and have additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I continue to focus my continuing education on how trauma, depression, and anxiety, and other mental health issues impact attachment, development, and the brain. This next year of professional education and growth will focus heavily on cultural diversity, awareness of privilege and disparity, and how to best support and help individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, and Persons of Color (POC). I grew up mostly in Iowa before being transplanted to Texas in my teens. Graduate school took me back to the Midwest in the St. Louis area, where I stayed for 10 years post graduation. It was there that I was introduced to yoga and became interested in meditation and other mindfulness practices. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and hanging out with my dogs, I believe in having a Wellness Plan for myself that includes time for reflection, reading, exercise, eating good food, and taking trips with my fiancé. I love to go to Big Bend and hike, and to enjoy the people in the vast desert of West Texas. Love the smell of the creosote and wide blue skies. My next state to explore would be Colorado! Not sure that I have a 'bucket list' but enjoy having new experiences, traveling, and learning to appreciate the differences in culture among people and different regions of the United States. My therapeutic framework is heavily influenced by Attachment, Development and the impact of trauma on individuals. As I have grown as professional therapist, I continue to incorporate on going education and learning around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and more recently Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I feel strongly that counseling should be person-centered, developing a foundation of trust and safety so that the therapeutic relationship starts with what the individual has identified and prioritized to be important to them. Regardless of the therapeutic approach, I believe in helping to challenge and change feelings, thoughts and behaviors that are not currently working for my client. Overall, therapy is about problem solving, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that support the ability for everyone to Live, Laugh & Love. I look forward to hearing from you and finding out how I can best help and support you through this process using the BetterHelp platform with video, text, and email. BetterHelp is an awesome way to explore the benefits and flexibility of having a therapist who fits into your schedule through the non-traditional growth of telehealth and virtual counseling!

Maybe you’re hitting up against some loneliness and isolation right now. Or maybe some old burdens are affecting your current life. Lets talk. I don't have any platitudes about positive thinking, but your story matters to me. The thing is, I really enjoy helping people cultivate resilience and self- compassion. Depression, , Anxiety, Anger that’s hard to control, Addiction issues (Porn, Gambling, Substances) all these are adversities that we humans grapple with. I've been doing this for a minute. I can say for sure that there is no cookie-cutter solution. It's more about connection. My focus is to create the space for someone to know they aren’t alone in this. A gentle, trauma informed journey into mindfulness ensues, and flows towards specific therapy concepts that work best for the individual. We go with what resonates. I enjoy drawing from IFS, Narrative, CBT, and Client Centered therapies to name a few. These paths can be informed by specific Ted Talks/Podcasts to augment the learning part of our work. I love the metaphor of life being a journey, a winding path. Most of us have internal burdens we're carrying along the way. Processing some of those with a neutral and supportive confidant, one who has earned your trust, can be immensely healing. So if you want to share the trail for a while, I'd be honored. Either way, I wish you the best on your journey.
