Hi, I am a Licensed Professional and Certified Biblical Counselor. I have a strong desire to help others have a change of heart, mind, and spirit! I have a passion for working with individuals who want to improve their lives and find meaning and purpose in their lives. I strive to instill hope, perseverance, and biblical truth to help clients reach their goals and find the root of their problems.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is an opportunity to begin building a trusting relationship and lay the foundation for future work together and your goals for therapy. It's a time to get to know you and for you to know the therapist! I will ask questions to understand the client’s background and current struggles, creating a comfortable space for open dialogue. The therapist will explain the therapy process, confidentiality, and how sessions typically work.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a therapist, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my empathy, listening skills, and ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. I have a passion for working with individuals who want to improve their lives and find meaning and purpose in their lives. I strive to instill hope, perseverance, and biblical truth to help clients reach their goals and find the root of their problems.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I received my master’s degree from Angelo State University and Texas A&M-San Antonio. I earned a Certificate in Biblical Counseling from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with school-age children, adolescents, and adults and providing couples counseling through church ministries. I have been called to this work from my own experience of finding healing and forgiveness through Christ.
