I believe every person has an innate motivation to move towards the best version of themselves. I view my position in the therapeutic relationship as supporting a person through what may be a very difficult time so that the individual or family can move forward.I view therapy from a person-centered perspective, meaning that an individual or family leads decisions regarding change. What I find most important in counseling is the therapeutic relationship between client and counselor. I nurture this relationship by providing a safe space for people to explore their deep personal struggles while I remain nonjudgmental and empathetic. I am an LPC-I and LMFT-A under the supervision of Lindsay Ballinger, PhD, LPC-S and Charette Dersch, PhD, LMFT-S, respectively. I completed my Masters of Science in Counseling at Southern Methodist University. I have counseling experience in a university counseling center and during crisis situations within hospitals, schools and other community settings. I am currently accepting new clients. I work with adults, couples, and families including parent training and therapy for teens. I include family members in the counseling process whenever applicable because individuals are not born and raised without social and environmental influences. These influences can be instrumental in the healing process.
