Biography

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (TX #80205 & Board Approved Supervisor) with my PhD in Counseling & Psychological Studies from Regent University. I now serve as Adjunct Faculty at Regent where I teach in the Masters’ level counseling program and serve on dissertation committees in the doctoral program.

My clinical experience comes from private practice, intensive outpatient, and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings where I have been exposed to populations of varying severity, presenting issues, and sociocultural backgrounds.

I hope that my practice is different than others. I want this place to be somewhere we can understand all the nuances of mental health and see how it is not the same for everyone. So, I am constantly seeking to bring other viewpoints together to have an enriching conversation about what mental health is.

Collaborative and Engaging Psychotherapy

I use a depth-oriented treatment approach, primarily drawing from psychoanalytic theory. That means in my work I pay attention to one’s personality, character structure, mental models, and emotional expression. All of these things come together to help an individual make sense of and navigate their world; especially because emotions are meant to inform and be utilized, not just regulated. Similarly, I draw from philosophy and the humanities because they help emphasize how we as clinicians should appreciate the lived experience of patients.

Trainings that I have completed include:

  • Enactive Trauma Therapy through Ellert Nijenhuis, PhD

  • Coherence Therapy

  • Psychological First-Aid through John Hopkins University
