Grief can take many forms—whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, chronic illness, addiction, or the deep sorrow that comes with life transitions and trauma.
As a Certified Grief Educator with specialized training in EMDR, Trauma and Grief Component Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care to help you process pain and begin to move forward at your own pace.
I provide one-on-one counseling and EMDR intensives for teens and adults in a virtual setting. My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and strengths-based. While I come from a Christian worldview, I respect your spiritual journey and will incorporate faith as much or as little as you prefer.
With over 20 years of experience supporting high-trauma populations—including those affected by addiction and complex loss—I understand the depth of grief and the courage it takes to seek help. I would be honored to support you as you navigate your path toward healing.

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. I strive to support my clients in navigating through the pain and rocky terrain of grief.
I would be honored to walk with you through this journey and look forward to having the opportunity to work with you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (Texas License # 90727). I hold a Bachelor’s degree (BA) in Social Work from Concordia University in Illinois and a Master’s degree (MA) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University in Colorado. My formal education and 20 years of professional experience have prepared me to counsel adults individually and in a group setting.
While there are many approaches to therapy and significant benefits from each, I choose to work from the Humanistic framework. When this approach is used, the client and the counselor move through the sessions together with the client leading the way. Being present and actively engaged with my client through listening, encouraging and genuine curiosity is what you can expect during a session. Further, I place great value on the therapeutic relationship. My objective is to foster a trusting relationship with you and develop a safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your hurts and struggles.
