I completed my undergraduate studies at Eastern New Mexico University with a Bachelors of Fine Art with a specialty in Psychology and Art Therapy. I received my Masters of Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Argosy University and studied at Arizona State University in the DBH program, Doctorate of Behavioral Health / integrative care.
I was also a trauma therapist with Child Crisis Arizona and Resolutions Counseling, working with a wide breadth of clientele and a deep scope of various types of trauma and somatic disturbances. I then began consulting and decided to establish McGinnis Theory & Practice (MT&P) in 2017. MT&P is a life coach service and not affiliated with the AZ Board of Behavior Health Examiners.
My specialty is targeting the underlying, core cause(s) for current barriers, and/or, any interruptions of trauma-healing utilizing various subconscious mind-healing interventions. ~Trauma can be small, or it can be vast. Whether it be emotional, physical, or spiritual; trauma is trauma. And the heaviness of it, weighs anyone down. Alternately, its absence is freeing!

At the start of my career, I worked with Calvary Addiction Recovery Center, treating over 3,000 young adults with either chemical or behavioral (i.e. gambling, sex, etc.) addictions as the primary Residential therapist for said population. It was there that I discovered my devotion to trauma work.
devotion to trauma work, and began the development of the McGinnis Theory on Subconscious healing.
Now, SR works great for specific traumatic events, singularly, but what about a low grade, lingering emotional suffering like codependency or perfectionism? When working with addiction recovery and relapse, I started tracking the causes for the relapses. I noticed in the patients I was treating, it was not really the cravings that sent them spiraling downward, it was either codependency or perfectionism, or both!
I then researched, developed, put into practice, and trained other professionals in an 8-week module specific to targeting codependency. Additionally, I regularly gave lectures on the subject.
Currently at McGinnis Theory & Practice, I offer a 9-part program for both codependency and perfectionism and offer periodic web-classes and workshops as well.
