Meet The Presenter
I currently work in a private practice setting for three years focusing on DBT, Mindfulness Focused CBT, and Trauma Focused CBT. I have a past experience of working for both inpatient and outpatient settings at behavioral health hospitals running the complex trauma groups and the chemical dependency groups. I have years of experience working at the Arlington Police department victim services office, meeting victims at the office, on scene at the time of the crime, or at the court house. I have also worked at the domestic violence agency Friends of the Family in Denton, where I was a legal advocate, assisting the clients gain access to the courts, and connect them to community resources.
I work at Neighbors Counseling. We have two office locations, the first one is in Denton and the second is in Allen. We predominately focus working with complex traumas, dissociative disorders, neurodivergent disorders, and mood disorders. We’re practice of 17 different clinicians working with a variety of modalities address the symptoms of trauma.
