Meet the Therapist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor passionate about helping adults experience greater clarity, purpose, and peace. Many individuals come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that are difficult to change, or unsure how to move forward.

 

My work is especially focused on helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

 

Together, we create space to slow down, process what is beneath the surface, and begin building a foundation for lasting change. My approach is grounded in empathy, trust, and authentic connection. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I strive to offer a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported.

 

Therapeutic Approach

I provide trauma-informed, personalized counseling for adults (18+). Many clients experience emotions such as shame, fear, or guilt—feelings that can make life feel heavy. These experiences do not define you.

 

Through evidence-based therapy and compassionate support, we work toward increased balance, clarity, and confidence.

 

I draw from approaches including:

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Mindfulness-based approaches

• Somatic and attachment-focused techniques

• Internal Family Systems (IFS)

• Inner child work and talk therapy with nervous system regulation

 

Specialties

• Trauma and PTSD

• Anxiety and depression

• Self-esteem and self-worth

• Addiction and recovery support

• Stress and life transitions

• Relationship and conflict challenges

• Grief and loss

• Parenting support

• Career and professional challenges

 

Credentials

• M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling – University of the Cumberlands

• M.A. in Addiction Counseling – University of the Cumberlands

• B.S. in Psychology – Texas A&M University

 

In addition to private practice, I have worked in dual diagnosis treatment centers and inpatient psychiatric settings. These experiences deepened my understanding of mental health and the complexity of the challenges individuals face, while reinforcing my belief in the possibility of meaningful, lasting change.

 

Christian Counseling (Optional)

At Healing 180 Counseling, my goal is to support emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. For those who desire it, Christian counseling can be integrated into the therapeutic process through prayer, scripture, or faith-based reflection.

 

Faith integration is always optional, and your preferences are fully respected. You do not need to hold any particular belief to receive compassionate, high-quality care. Whether your faith is central to your life or something you are still exploring, you will be met with empathy, understanding, and respect.

 

If this feels like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, I welcome you to reach out.
