Meet the Providers

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas.  I have over five years of experience providing therapy, and have worked in many areas of mental health, from a non-profit agency for at-risk youth, to a psychiatric hospital at the acute and residential level. I am passionate and experienced in working with pre-teens, adolescents, parents, and families.  I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), and Sandtray therapy. I enjoy using expressive modalities such as Sandtray and art. I provide treatment in a variety of areas, to include attachment issues, grief and loss, parenting, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, at-risk youth, military veterans, active-duty military members, military families, children and adolescents, self-esteem, life transitions, and many more.

The quest for mental well-being can an arduous one, but with a trusted therapist to guide the journey and help bear the burden, it can be achieved. My overall goal is for my clients to feel they can be themselves, and provide a therapeutic environment that is warm, welcoming, challenging but comforting, and strengths based. I am honored you have chosen to seek help and I look forward to the journey ahead.

I strive to build a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients based on compassion, trust and accountability. Together, we will create a treatment plan that highlights your strengths, supports your immediate needs and promotes personal growth. You can come to sessions expecting to share, engage and explore new skills. All without judgement! Counseling may be challenging at times, but I am always rooting for you to succeed. Lasting change is the ultimate goal. There is no need to tiptoe around any issues, let's get to work!

No matter how strong you are, life can be hard! Acknowledging life's challenges can help us practice acceptance while also working towards change. My primary approach to therapy is building a strong therapeutic relationship based on compassion and collaboration. I can offer my expertise in mental health, but you are the expert on your life. I would love to partner with you to build the life you hope to lead.

I want to help you learn effective coping strategies to reduce anxiety, process anxiety-provoking experiences, and provide a safe and collaborative environment to explore and make positive changes. Anxiety can feel completely overwhelming, both emotionally and physically, but it is possible to change your relationship to worry and fear so you can move forward in your life with greater confidence and peace. I can also incorporate a Biblical perspective at your request.

For the past 37 years I have had the privilege to walk beside people like you and me in working through events which have caused great difficulty, through conditions such as ADHD and mood disorders, and other obstacles to fulfillment.  I like to listen first, to understand, to set a pace that makes sense, and then to plan with you pathways toward a greater sense of purpose and accomplishment.  It is a privilege to serve the good people who come for help.

I respect the unique cultures, experiences, and preferences of my clients and personalize treatment to fit their individual needs.  The connection between client and therapist is crucial for successful therapy and for that reason I work to build trust and create an inclusive and culturally affirming space for clients of all backgrounds and intersecting identities.  My hope is that when clients leave my office they feel heard, seen, and recognize the strengths they possess to meet their goals.
