I am a Certified EMDR therapist through the EMDRIA International Association, as well as hold a Secondary Teachers Certification in the State of Texas.
In addition to my credentials, I have extensive clinical and teaching experience with a broad range of development for inpatient, outpatient, and intensive long-term treatment programs for clients with addiction and mental health issues. I have experience as an adjunct professor for graduate students and supervise intern/practicum students from different universities. As the owner of Austin Wellness, PLLC, I work with individuals, couples/families and groups utilizing both theological and psychological themes. I also provide unique training, workshops, seminars, and retreats for groups, churches, and businesses, which are challenging, inspirational, and uplifting.
I am highly committed to staying abreast of current information and education to improve my skill level. I seek a collaborative process with clients in order to assist in drawing upon their own spiritual resources and to approach treatment with clinical disciplines in order to meet the determined goals.
