Licensed to practice in Texas and accepts 36 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Crisis Intervention, Depression and 4 more.
I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas. I have 24 years of experience in education as a teacher and school counselor. I have also worked in a private practice setting and an acute psychiatric hospital setting where patients are admitted for depression, suicidal thinking, and aggressive behavior. I help adolescents, teens, and adults to learn to cope and alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression to help improve quality of life.
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.
Having worked in schools, private practice, and acute hospital setting, I have a developed a deep level of understanding my clients needs and an ability to create a supportive and safe space for my clients.
If you are a teacher overwhelmed with your job in today’s educational environment, I have been where you are. If you are a struggling teen or parent, I have seen first hand how overwhelming school and parent-child relations can be. Most of my clients just want to be heard and understood in a rapidly changing world.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Through CBT strategies, I help clients identify distortions in thinking and negative core believes. Then we can work together to reframe negative thoughts and with practice create new patterns of thinking and identify effective coping skills for a positive outcome.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution focused therapy is useful in focusing on moving forward. This method can help patients who feel held up by staying stuck in their past. I help clients focus on their strengths to create a vision of their preferred future.
