With a strong educational background in social and behavioral sciences, an advanced degree in social work, and over seven years of dedicated experience, I specialize in helping people navigate the complexities of mental health.

I appreciate you being here and getting to know a bit about me and my counseling background. It means that you are contemplating the beginning of your therapeutic journey. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, I draw from extensive experience in the health professional field working in hospitals, private clinics, and residential facilities with various populations.

I specialize in working with people with Anxiety, Phobias, PTSD, Adjustment Disorders and Codependency. I also work with people on setting and maintaining boundaries, goal-setting, assertiveness training, communication skills, changing thoughts and behaviors and coping skills. I provide support when you are in crisis, need help with parenting skills and work with you to reduce symptoms that affect your everyday life. If you want to incorporate bible scripture or prayer, I am happy to provide this support! If requested, sessions can include walking, movement, meeting inside or outside the office.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor informed in the Biology of Trauma, Internal Family Systems, and EFT (tapping). I utilize a multifaceted approach to better match the needs of my clients. I work with individuals aged 14 and up along with couples. I believe that within all of us is the power of growth to build a life that is healthy and whole, starting with recognizing and accepting these same attributes within us. No matter what challenging situations life has dealt, there is a way to rise above what they caused and witness an existence of wellbeing and peace. I see it as an honor to help my clients reach this destination.

You might feel emotionally overwhelmed, exhausted, or like your thoughts are all over the place, especially when past experiences or stress keep showing up in your daily life. It can be hard to explain what you’re feeling, and even harder to carry it alone. You don’t have to do this alone. I offer a supportive space where you can begin to make sense of your emotions, feel understood, and start moving toward greater clarity, relief, and emotional balance.

I believe that you are the leading expert on your own life. My role is not to diagnose you from a distance or tell you how to live, but to walk alongside you as a collaborator. I am committed to providing a space defined by total transparency and zero judgment.

In this room, you are safe to be your most authentic self. I will listen deeply to your experiences and reflect what I hear, helping you clear the path toward the goals and growth you define as important. We are in this together, and you will always set the pace."

Taking the first step toward change isn’t easy—but you’ve already done it by starting your search for a therapist.

Now, I invite you to take the next step and schedule your first appointment. Whether that’s with me or another provider, what matters most is that you commit to investing in yourself.

You deserve support, healing, and a space where you can grow. If you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you. My focus is on helping individuals clarify their vision for the future while building on their existing strengths to foster growth, resilience, and lasting change. I take a motivational and strengths-based approach to counseling, offering encouragement and support as you navigate your path through life’s challenges.

Something that stands out in regard to me is that I have gathered some valuable wisdom over the years from many excellent mentors and life experience as an educator, vocational ministry, raising my own family, and having worked with many gifted and compassionate people.

My clients describe me as understanding ("getting them as individuals"), caring and collaborative , and a safe place to share what they need to share.

I believe mental health care works best when it feels like a partnership. I take time to listen, understand your experiences, and involve you in every step of your treatment plan. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and supported while we work together to find the right tools and strategies to help you feel more stable, confident, and hopeful about the future.

My therapy approach focuses on building positive communication and fostering meaningful client relationships. I prioritize establishing healthy coping strategies and developing lasting interpersonal change within a culturally sensitive framework. I work collaboratively with my clients through compassionate and respectful guidance to achieve their personalized goals.
