About Me
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas (Go Cowboys!), I come from family of teachers. I began my professional career as a teacher for 9 years before becoming a school counselor for 4 years. I received my undergraduate degree in Education from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Ok and my Master's degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas. Traveling is my most favorite thing to do, and if there's a beach involved, I'm there!
Throughout my years in education, I developed a passion in helping people. Seeing the children and families I served have to overcome so many emotional, economical, and social issues, I realized that I wanted to do more outside of the school setting. Earning my Master's in Counseling, I sought to work with adults who were unfulfilled and impaired in their life functioning, which unfortunately negatively impacted their children. With over 6 years of experience, I specialize in working with adults suffering from depression, grief, anger, anxiety, and general life functioning. I also work with couples (premarital and married) and families through use of strategies and skills to promote healthy relationships.
Using CBT and other cognitive strategies, I provide a comfortable, supporting, and relaxing environment where my clients can feel free to explore their feelings and behaviors and set goals to achieve the satisfying and fulfilling life they desire. Working together, we will use practical and relatable strategies to help you achieve your goals.
I understand that the decision to seek counseling can be a difficult first step to make. Taking that step together, we will work towards helping you to take control of your life and experience the fullness of all that life has to offer.
I look forward to working with you!

Angel reminds me a lot of me with her counseling style and I need that. I need the direct with compassion and she does that. She really wants to help you figure out what is going on and provide you with the tools to move forward.
I love working with Angel. I have so many issues that I’m all over the place, and she somehow can keep me on track and provide amazing insight. She’s definitely helping me improve my marriage and my relationships with my children.
She is really like an angel.
Angel is an awesome and very thorough therapist! She does an excellent job of going above and beyond to provide her clients with the absolute best care they need without being judgmental. She is committed to seeing growth and progress in her clients and makes them feel heard and validated. She is hands down the best therapist I have ever had.
Very understanding and insightful.
Angel took the time to completely evaluate my situation and my experience. She was thoughtful and considerate with her responses.
Angel is very responsive, helpful and listens well. She provides great feedback and resources on how to help yourself.
Angel is an amazing listener. She provides outstanding professional advice in a number of areas, including family and career counseling. She helped me get through a very real crisis at the end of last year with her timely and supportive guidance. I really appreciated how she helped me clarify my personal goals, as well as how she was there for me for remote counseling through the chat window. The written exercises that she offered were also timely and on point.
Angel is very easy to talk to and doesn’t act judgmental no matter what the topic is. She offers insights you may not have thought of on your own. I’ve found speaking with her has been very helpful.
Great app- really helps me out things into perspective.
Angel has been a great help to me, I have improved so much in such a short time, highly recommended!
Angel has been an invaluable resource in processing my thoughts and emotions. At her advice, I've tried a different approach to particular stressful relationships in my life and have found a much happier way to get what I need while also being a quality, compassionate spouse, friend, and coworker to those who are important to me.
Angel has been terrific! She always responds to me quickly and offers plenty of practical exercises to help me work through my stress. I would recommend her to everyone looking to work through their stress!
She is great. She has helped me through several things and I have complete confidence in her expertise.
She makes me feel comfortable enough to open up and speak freely without worries about being judged or taken offensively. She is very good!
I really like that she checks in with me regularly.

She’s a great listener, non judgmental, and offers wise counsel to my situation. I can tell that she truly wants to help and cares about helping me move forward. I’m really happy and grateful that BetterHelp matched me with Angel.
Angel has always responded in a very timely manner and has been a great help to me during an emotionally fragile time. She is always very supportive and understanding, and I would recommend anyone dealing with anxiety or abuse to her.
Angel is very thoughtful and kind. I look forward to reading messages because they are always uplifting.
