I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 12 years of experience counseling individuals, couples, and groups. Since 2010, my studies and career have focused on identifying underlying problems that contribute to relationship problems, substance use, and other problematic behaviors that limit the quality of life. The primary emphasis of my master’s level studies was trauma and substance use disorders. My experience includes working with individuals in all levels of care and settings: detox, intensive inpatient, residential, partial day treatment, intensive outpatient, and traditional outpatient mental health and substance abuse centers.
I live in Texas and conduct in-person sessions in Galveston and telehealth for anyone interested in therapy via video. My specialties are trauma treatment using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and therapy for anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. My training in EMDR encompassed six months of training by an EMDRIA trainer. I have over nine years of experience using EMDR, and I find it to be a highly effective treatment that helps individuals make sense of what happened to them, heal from it, and live a more abundant life.
