I have been a counselor for 20+ years. Counseling is a calling for me - a passion. I feel honored to come alongside those who are hurting, or who find themselves in a challenging place in their lives, and help them navigate through the difficulties that they face. I like to help my clients gain insight about themselves and others, assist them through the healing process, and then help them get back on track with their lives. I deal with the past issues as they affect the present, and I apply cognitive behavioral techniques to assist clients in facing and dealing with past hurts so they can heal and keep their past from hindering their progress in the present and future. As a therapist, I would describe myself as empathetic, non-judgmental, direct, honest, and practical. I offer my clients my genuine concern and empathy, combined with my direct thoughts, insights, and recommendations. I can offer you a safe place to sort through what is on your mind and heart. Many people carry a heavy load emotionally and fear letting their guard down with others. One of the benefits of therapy is that I am not in your every day life. I am not your friend or family member...I am your counselor. I am not here to judge you. I can help you cut through the noise and get to the root of what is truly troubling you and I can walk you through the steps necessary to bring about the change you desire to see in your life.

We all have unique needs and goals from treatment. As this is true, I do not offer a one size fits all approach. Various causes and conditions impact us each differently and it is in the partnership we form, the co-operation we engage in, and how progress towards goals are made. Motivation for change in any area also varies and this is what creates our unique experience together. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space to express thoughts, feelings, and actions that may be impacting your life. I offer experience in several treatment approaches and personalities. I work to help bring awareness and self-exploration to the extent one would like to experience. I am presently a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor) in the State of Texas. I have supplemented these with a CTP (Clinical Trauma Professional) certification and a CEF (Certified Experiential Facilitator - Deep Waters Recovery Program).
