I provide a variety of behavioral health services with a specialization in anxiety, trauma, and medical-life concerns (pain management, cancer, sleep issues, TMJ, high blood pressure, etc.). As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to provide a place of hope and healing where you will be heard, respected, and encouraged forward. 

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying scientifically grounded therapy approaches and techniques, we will help identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. 

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. 

I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist, hold two masters degrees from Abilene Christian University, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  My experience also includes prior service as an active duty psychologist in the US Air Force and I currently serve as private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients.

In addition to being an established counseling health psychologist, I have presented at numerous national conferences and to general audiences speaking on the topics of diabetes management, career stress, pain management, cancer psychology, trauma, and many other topics.

I am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate scientifically grounded methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with individuals to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
