In a world filled with unrest, unwanted chatter, societal pressure, and overwhelming obligations, as a therapist, I sit with clients and listen to their hurts, needs, and desires. I help them to make sense of all the things that rob them of their peace. My job is to help clients unburden themselves and find strength within. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an organized, short-term, present-oriented psychotherapy for solving current problems and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I also incorporate coping skills and behavioral changes.

I like to ride horses and spend time with them. I also like to spend time with family, and I love to bake.
I have quiet time every morning where I pray, meditate, and read God's word.
I'm actually reading the book right now for the second time and it is called A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23. It ministered to me, and I wanted to study it more. I've also re-read books on certain modalities for counseling.
Triple H Equitherapy in Pipe Creek Texas. They work with horses and clients who struggle with emotional and physical problems. It is an amazing process where the horses heal people's hearts. I love what they do so much that I'm a contractor there providing therapy with the horses.
