Therapists in Texas

I have been practicing therapy for approximately 10 years; the last three of which have been working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have experience working with individuals who struggle with substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, and general life concerns. I am trained in evidenced-based, trauma informed therapies such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or TF-CBT (I am also a certified TF-CBT provider) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR, as well as your standard talk therapy. My goal is to provide the best therapy that will meet the needs of my clients, so sometimes I will utilize multiple methods and/or theoretical approaches to address presenting concerns. I genuinely care about my client's well-being, and am willing to tell you if I don't believe myself to be a good fit for your needs. Whether you are looking for someone to provide an outside perspective on life, seeking a specific form of therapy, or are drawn to faith-based, Biblical counseling I might just be the counselor for you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas and have been in the field for 10+ years. I have never failed to be fascinated with people, with their stories, and with their ability to overcome their circumstances and find the peace they desire. I was an art teacher in high school for many years. That opportunity presented me with experience in learning about the heart of a young person. I worked in several churches as a mentor and learned the need for skills people lacked in order to overcome their past and move forward into a healthy life. As a counselor, I saw the amazing struggles that people are grappling with as they tried to tackle each day. I believe that a counselor can be the helper who will walk along side of a person on their journey to healing. I completed my Masters in counseling at the Houston Graduate School of Theology, then went on to Texas A&M Corpus Christi to complete a Ph.D. I have also extended my studies to include many techniques for working with trauma/PTSD, personality disorders, grief, disassociation, depression, OCD, transition issues, and anxiety. I have been involved with many survivors of childhood abuse, those struggling with life issues in their relationships, their workplace, and in society in general. Fear, anger, and frustration are often crippling to a healthy, productive life. I like to work with people in a person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and in dialectic behavioral therapy. These therapies all offer a gentle and caring approach. They will allow you to be open in a safe environment and the ability to explore what will best work for you, the individual. I consider the people I’ve talked with and walked with in this journey of life to be among the strongest people on earth. They are willing to step out of their problems and seek a better, healthier life. It’s hard work, but it is worth it.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology. I went back for my Masters because of my own addictions and my recovery. I am also a Domestic Abuse survivor. My first job after graduation was working in a recovery center After that, I worked as an Aftercare Supervisor where I helped clients maintain their recovery during the first crucial months.
