I graduated from the Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program at the University of North Texas in 2019. I completed my internship at the Syracuse Veteran Affairs (VA) Behavioral Health Clinic where I received specialized training in anxiety/depression management, trauma-focused treatments, couple counseling, substance use treatments, and psychological testing. I then completed my  postdoctoral fellowship at the Dallas VA Medical Center and enhanced my skills in treatments for PTSD and relationship issues. 

I am still active in clinical research and co-facilitate several national research projects. My research interests have focused on assessment and treatment of trauma  disorders and depression. I am an assistant professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center and enjoy training therapists to provide evidence-based psychotherapies. 

Does your anxiety get in the way of doing things? Would you like to improve your relationships with a partner, family, friends, or coworkers? Do you feel down, unmotivated, or not as interested in things as you used to be? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, there is hope! You are not alone in these experiences, and many people have changed their lives through therapy. Therapy is a journey that we take together. There are many paths we can choose from to go in the direction you desire. Everyone is different, and your path is tailored to your needs, preferences, and values. 

The tools and insight that I will provide you have been perfected through years of specialized training and experience. My training has included learning how to improve relationships, increase happiness and joy, develop meaning and purpose, reduce anxiety and depression, recover from trauma and addictions, and enhance sleep and pain management. 

I will address your concerns from a holistic perspective, caring for the body, soul and spirit. You do not have to live like this – you can improve your life! Take the first step today by contacting me.
