Therapist Overview
Conveniently, I offer availability in the evenings and weekend to meet you at your schedule. I have received my masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lubbock Christian University and work with children, individuals, and couples. My greatest focus is with children and adults who have suffered trauma, depression, or anxiety. My background is in education, teaching elementary age children, where I have learned a great deal about how both children and parents cope with educational, familial, and outside stressors. Because of my background in education, I am available to work with a school counselor on EIP, IEP, or 504 plans. When working with children, I utilize expressive therapies (art, sand, and active play) to assist the child to communicate and process their experiences and issues. With couples, I have been trained in EFT or Emotionally Focused Therapy to gain a deeper understanding of the communication cycle and how to alter it as a team.
