As a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas, I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, fostering emotional strength, perseverance, and self-understanding in a nurturing and safe environment. My seasons as a classroom teacher integrated with my role as a therapist offers me a fresh approach in working with clients and their families. Whether it is navigating the complexities of adolescence, managing high-risk behaviors or piloting through life, my focus is tailoring sessions and collaborating on therapeutic plans that can be seamlessly integrated into clients' daily lives, ensuring lasting growth and well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adults and adolescents to build emotional intelligence. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious in their lives. Life brings feelings and emotions and navigating that in a safe space where you feel supported, understood and heard can be freedom.
