Felicia has been pursuing counseling since 2013, when she first felt the Lord leading her to this field. Originally from California, Felicia moved to Nacogdoches in 2014 when she married her husband, Travis, who is from Nacogdoches. Felicia completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Health Science from Stephen F. Austin State University and then went on to receive her Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Felicia counsels from a trauma informed and attachment-based framework and believes experiencing connection through healthy relationships with others and God can lead to a more abundant and fulfilling life, mentally and physically.

Felicia has advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) to better help couples understand the cycles of interaction that create conflict and distance in relationships and work to develop new patterns that establish and restore supportive bonds. Additionally, Felicia is trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy which helps negative or traumatic life experiences become less distressing and can lead to alleviation of symptoms commonly associated with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addictions.  Counseling is not just a job to Felicia, but rather a passion and ministry as she desires to walk alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the peaks and valleys of life. In her spare time, Felicia enjoys running, strength training, cooking, baking bread, reading, and spending time with her family and friends.
