Cognitive Behavior Therapy; EMDR;
Career Counseling and Assessment

I am a solution oriented therapist who utilizes an interactive, collaborative approach dedicated to empowering you to make changes that enhance your life. As a teacher and coach, I facilitate your learning the skills to improve your relationships, manage your emotions, and achieve a better, more satisfying and enjoyable life. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and gained clinical experience in the treatment modality working in two psychiatric hospitals in Austin.

Along with using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice, I am a trained EMDR therapist, an innovative method for treating PTSD and trauma. I frequently use a combination of CBT and EMDR to achieve the desired treatment goals when treating anxiety, phobias, OCD and abandonment issues.

I have 20 years in the business world as a manager and business owner resulting in a good understanding of what people have to face in their daily work lives. Consequently, I am also an experienced Career Counselor and will teach and coach you in the process of making changes in your work lives/professions to achieve increased career satisfaction.

If you want to improve your life and start feeling better I can help. Call me.

MEd in Counseling from Texas State University; MBA from the University of Iowa; BA in Accounting from the University of Northern Iowa.
