Hello. A native of Houston, Texas, I was a member of Top Teens of America (sponsored by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority) Houston Chapter ranking 2nd Runner-up Ms. Top Teen and Honorable Mention for oratory in Top Teens of America statewide conference in her senior year in high school. I earned her Bachelor of Arts from Austin College in Sherman, Texas. I also earned a Master of Science from Texas A&M University – Commerce, Texas. I have worked in the field of substance abuse and mental health counseling since 1999 working with children placed in foster care, probationers, parents involved with CPS, referrals from the court system, and those seeking counseling for various needs such as anger, domestic violence, life skills, and parenting. I have been recognized and awarded as one of the “Top 30 Influential Women of Houston” in 2015. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and a National Board Certified Counselor. I am also a member of the Texas Counseling Association.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will begin to develop a therapeutic relationship by talking about why you are seeking counseling. You will introduce me to your life and share some of your experiences as we explore different areas of your journey. We will be able to determine together what is most important to you at this point in your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a clinician, providing a safe space to explore and express personal needs, thoughts, and feelings is primary. Most clients benefit from my honest feedback, insight, and realistic approach to helping them reach a higher level of self acceptance.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy empowering those suffering from substance abuse and common life challenges to live their best life through helping them overcome substance use, establish healthy relationships, and adjust to life beginning with a firm but nurturing relationship.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is essential to personal growth and it encourages use of practical steps for life long positive change. I apply this approach in individual counseling, couples counseling, and family counseling services by helping to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenging those unhelpful thinking patterns, and replacing them with helpful/positive thinking.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize motivational interviewing to establish an accepting and inviting counseling relationship. During the counseling relationship, personal accountability and responsibility for change becomes the focal point while using practical steps from CBT.
