Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I received my Masters from John Brown University in Arkansas and have been practicing for 10 years. I love working with young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and those who are trying to figure out who they are outside of their family of origin. I feel therapy should be guided first and foremost by my clients and seek to create a safe space that allows them to be vulnerable.

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

In our first session we will start with introductions and then dive into the current challenges you are facing. We will discuss goals for treatment so that I can create a individualized plan for our follow-up sessions. We'll track progress you're making and can adjust our goals as needed.

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

I have experience working with both individuals and groups, adolescents and adults and have found a passion for helping young adults challenge negative beliefs they hold about themselves, others, and the world. I love helping my clients identify their values and like to approach therapy from a strengths based perspective. I believe I can support my clients best by providing a validating and empathetic environment and by allowing them to lead the session. I love incorporating Christian values into session, if desired by clients, and can be more directive in session as needed.
