About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I received my Masters from LeTourneau University and have been practicing for 4 years. I work with adult clients living with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, and anger. The goal is to provide a safe space for clients to openly talk, gain self-awareness, and identify ways to overcome their challenges.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, I will inquire about your presenting problem. This will provide me with insight on best practices to assist you with overcoming challenges and reaching your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I've learned how to assist adults with gaining insight into how their thoughts and behaviors developed. This allows for developing a treatment plan specifically designed for the client.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adults that are facing life challenges but are willing to work hard to overcome. They find it hard to ask for help, but refuse to give up. These clients come to therapy, are ready to look at themselves, and gain coping skills to change their thoughts and behaviors.

This was my first session with her, and she was amazing! I have never had anyone tell me to even give myself "grace" because I have been through a lot. She seemed eager to work with me, and passionate about her job. I can't wait for our next session.
