Background

I received a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of North Texas in 2007.  I practiced pastoral counseling until 2016 when I became a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern, and I received my full License as a Professional Counselor in 2018, License Number 74955. I am a certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator to administer couple assessments, a Financial Peace University Coordinator, and trained in PREP, an empirically based system designed to enhance effective couples communication.

I was employed as a full-time minister for 22 years, initially working with college students, young adults, single parents, and divorce recovery. With my counseling degree in 2007, I began pastoral counseling and family ministry working with couples, parents, men and women. My background includes service as a combat medic in the U.S. Army, business management, and support group work with alcohol and substance abuse recovery, divorce recovery, grief recovery, men’s groups, marriage enrichment, parent training, and leadership training.

Philosophy of Counseling

I believe counseling works best when clients feel safe because they trust that their counselor values them and has their best interests at heart. Through this relationship, the counselor and client can collaborate to help identify and achieve goals through practical tools that help resolve concerns. Counseling is an opportunity to work on specific issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, and adjustment to life stressors. Through a variety of techniques and interventions, I help clients replace unhealthy thoughts, emotions and behaviors with a positive mindset and a path to healing and growth.
