Balanced Roots Counseling

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling depressed from our past, anxious about our future, and unable to live in the present. This was me for the majority of my young adult life, struggling to get through each day in just doing the "basics", like going to work. I was unhappy with how my life was going and found myself repeating my familial history that I so desperately did not want to do. But to try to change my lifepath felt daunting and impossible. Finding myself spiraling into negative behaviors, I finally decided to ask for help. Once I committed to doing the work, I was able to peel away those layers of negative childhood experiences that were weighing me down. I started to connect and understand the patterns of behavior that not only affected me as a child but also as an adult. Through my healing process, I was able to begin creating positive changes in my life, finally finding freedom from those tangled roots I once thought would keep me tied down forever. I had finally discovered my unapologetically authentic self! It felt so great I wanted to empower others to do the same... and so I became a counselor. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, earned from Texas A&M University in Commerce, Texas. I bring a wealth of training and expertise to my practice, including EMDR Therapy training, DBT training, certification in Gender-Affirming Mental Health Assessments, and recognition as a Nationally Certified Counselor by the National Board of Certified Counselors. I strive to provide a non-judgmental space that is culturally sensitive, allowing you to explore those deeper layers which create your unique self, whatever that may look like. My hope for you is to begin to heal so you can untangle the messiness of life and find more balance within your mind and body, discovering your inner peace, and creating more pleasure into your life. Let’s embark on this journey together, working towards becoming the best version of yourself!
