Hey there! I would love to work alongside you to meet your mental, emotional, and overall health goals. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor In Texas for over 10 years.

Let ME help YOU unpack... your emotional baggage and lighten your load. As Erykah Badu sings in her powerful song, "Bag Lady," it's time to let go of all those heavy bags you've been carrying and start fresh.

Thereafter, I spent time in clinical practice to build expertise to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor providing individual, family, and group therapy. Most recently I have broadened my scope of practice to include my Chemical Dependency Counseling license and Certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have been working in the field of helping others for almost twenty years. In my early career, I stared off as a school counselor helping and supporting elementary age children learn coping skills needed to thrive in a school setting. As my students grew and developed, I did too! Professionally, I grew and mature and transitioned to working in the community with adults who, just like my students, need support in learning coping skills to navigate the challenges in life.

Hi! I like to provide an eclectic approach to therapy that is individualized to your needs. I enjoy working with individual adults. I know therapy can be intimidating, but I will provide you with a warm and empathetic approach that will focus on your goals or areas of your life that are no longer working for you.
We will learn a variety of coping skills to help you decrease anxiety, depression, and stress. We will use your strengths to set boundaries and identify goals you wish to achieve. Whatever you are experiencing, we will work through it together.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” - Carl
Jung
This quote is how I approach therapy as a counselor. We all come to counseling with a past. My hope is that together we will walk side by side as you learn that you are so much more than what has happened to you. I hope to have the privilege to help empower you as you choose who you want to be in life. I am a fully licensed LPC and have been practicing for almost 4 years. In addition, I have 8 years’ experience working with children ranging in ages from birth to 13 years old.

I believe that everyone has the ability to overcome any adversity they face, they just need a little help or guidance along the way. It is my perspective on mental health is that everyone will get “stuck” in their own cycle of trying to help themselves in a way that was never going to work for them. I want to work with you on how to best overcome these challenges, so I’ll never tell you what to do or what choice works best but I will make sure we figure it out together.
