I'm a therapist because I believe that each of us has dignity and worth as human beings. I believe that you have the ability to change your life and to heal yourself if you have the tools and the support. I would like to help you by providing tools and being a part of the support you need to change your life and heal yourself. I hope to help you honor and love every aspect of yourself during our work together. I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in the state of Texas. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and relationship issues. I also helped many people who have experienced sexual, physical, and emotional trauma. My counseling style is warm and understanding. I provide a safe space to honestly express how you are feeling and what you are thinking. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, strengths based therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy. During our first few conversations I'd like to set some goals for therapy together to give us some direction for our work together. I don't want us to be tied down to these goals, our work together will be fluid and we will change our goals as your needs change. You've already made the most important step in healing and changing your life by giving yourself the gift of therapy. I really admire the courage and vulnerability it takes to speak honestly with me about what you want and what you need. I can't wait to get started!

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with experience in providing therapy and coaching to clients. I have worked with clients from ages 10 and up with a multitude of presenting issues such as developmental trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, PTSD, self-esteem and self-identity issues and neurodevelopmental disorders. I came to the game late, getting my Bachelors and Masters in my 40's. I spent a lot of time in the business world, hiring, training and mentoring and I bring much of that experience to my therapy. I have worked with adolescents and adults that have experienced trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I have a varied experience coaching and mentoring young adults, women and single parents, both men and women. My experience is multifaceted working with individuals, families and parents separately. I believe the greatest agent of change is the relationship. Whether it is the relationship you have with a therapist, your spiritual relationship or a relationship with others. Relationships provide powerful impact for good and for bad. My focus in therapy is to meet a client where they are with unconditional positive regard and to use an approach that will work best as we work toward meeting therapy goals. With my experience, I truly believe I can help people heal their relationships and work through the struggles they face. I am here to support you through your journey.
