As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I stress the importance of developing a trusting relationship with my clients with the purpose of helping them understand the origin and nature of their issues and concerns so that we can overcome them.

I practice a Solution-Focused and Systems-based approach. I believe that everything in one’s life is connected and complex. By identifying specific problem-factors, a person has the capability to decide to make changes that will result in their desired solution.

I have been a licensed professional counselor in Texas since 2018. Prior to becoming a counselor, I retired as a school principal where I worked with countless adolescents and their families. Further, I was a business owner and served in the military. I work with clients of all races, ethnicities, and socioeconomic status. My clients range from adolescents to retired adults experiencing a wide range of concerns such as overwhelming stress, anxiety, relationship issues, PTSD, parenting problems, addictions, and career challenges. Many of my clients have experienced emotional trauma from sexual assault, both physical and emotional abuse, as well as neglect. My counseling style is conversational and casual. I believe in treating everyone with respect, empathy, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, choice theory, and rational-emotive therapy. We will work together to create and follow a treatment plan that meets your unique and specific needs, which will enable you to confidently make choices that will empower you. If you are ready to live the life that you want then I look forward to working with you.
