If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, or a struggle with substance use, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I help adults across Texas find clarity, stability, and a path forward even when life feels heavy, chaotic, or simply “too much right now.” As both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, I’m one of the few providers in West Texas who can treat mental health and substance use together, in one therapeutic relationship. You deserve a place where you feel understood, supported, and not judged. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you take the next step.

Get to know me

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

Your first session is a calm, low‑pressure space to talk about what’s been weighing on you and what you hope will feel different. I’ll ask a few questions to understand your goals and share how we can work together using evidenced based approaches. You don’t need to prepare anything, just come as you are. By the end, you’ll have a clear sense of next steps and what our work together can look like.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

In our work, you can expect a grounded, compassionate space where you set the pace. I use evidence‑based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These methods help you understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical skills for managing emotions, and move toward the life you want.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use and want a safe, secure place to sort through what’s going on. Many of my clients are navigating co‑occurring mental health and substance use challenges. They’re looking for a therapist who understands both without judgment. I provide integrated care that support a person's ability to build clarity, stability, and make real progress.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop a healthier relationship with their internal experiences and strengthen their ability to live in alignment with their values.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my private practice, I frequently utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides a structured, evidence‑based framework that supports clients in recognizing unhelpful cognitive patterns and developing healthier, more adaptive responses.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

In my private practice, I integrate Solution‑Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as a core therapeutic approach to help clients identify strengths, build on existing resources, and create meaningful change in a time‑efficient manner.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

In my private practice, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients strengthen emotional regulation, improve distress tolerance, and develop healthier interpersonal patterns.

Strength-Based

In my private practice, I utilize Strengths‑Based Therapy to help clients recognize, access, and build upon the internal resources they already possess.
