I'll bet that past therapy you've had has felt like a bunch of crap and a total waste of time, right? So many clients tell me about their negative experiences with past therapists, who "just listened" and "didn't really show me how to make anything better." Well, I don't play that game (you are paying for services, after all, right?). I want you to feel you've actually gotten useful skills to improve your situation. I often work with clients with a range of problems and concerns, although I specialize in work with the LGBTQ+ community. I have extensive experience in individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy. I'll show you how to identify and challenge the "stinkin' thinkin'", which contributes to feelings of depression and anxiety, substance use, and even problems in couples' relationships. Many clients have told me that I am the "first therapist, who has ever helped" them and often tell me that they feel significant relief even after our first session. We can make all sorts of excuses and justifications for keeping ourselves depressed and anxious. If you're really ready to get to work with someone, who truly cares, I'd be honored to work with you. Clients have told me they love my sense of humor and down-to-earth approach. Let's get together and help you achieve the peace of mind you deserve.

Life can be hard work and I am here to help you through the inevitable struggles. Whether you are facing a major circumstantial stressor, or if there are continuing patterns that you need to process with a professional, I would be delighted to walk with you through your therapeutic needs as your therapist. I have extensive experience working with a wide spectrum of individuals with varying mental health, cultural, racial, religious, sexual, and gender backgrounds. My main goal as your therapist is to help you feel seen, valued, and empowered to be the best version of yourself. After obtaining my Master's Degree in counseling over a decade ago, I completed a post-masters internship at a large, non-profit counseling center in the Houston metro area. After obtaining my license, I continued to work in the non-profit sector and also continued in private practice. Over the years I have completed additional training in working with both married and dating couples through John Gottman method training, the premier researcher on marital success, satisfaction, and therapy. I also continued my education by becoming a certified sex therapist. Although I have an extensive background working with couples, therapy comes down each individual’s work in their own lives. All of my training and education has carried with it thoughtful integration of current mental health treatment into each individual’s specific therapeutic process. I intentionally create a safe, open space to explore sensitive issues in order for my clients to be able to safely and openly process in a healing environment. What I'm most passionate about is you, the client, and what you need right now at this very moment in your life. I genuinely care about each individual that sits in front of me and I honor each of their stories, where they’ve come from, where they are currently, and the potential they have inside of them. It would be an honor to be your therapist. Feel free to message me to schedule an appointment so we can plan together how to help you have the life you long for.

I approach counseling from a present focused and ecological perspective. I encourage clients to work towards self-awareness, being action and strength oriented in order to have the capacity to find within themselves the resources necessary to solve their problems and to discover the conditions that will make change possible. I accept a client’s immediate family relationships and larger social context as being important resources in solving life’s problems. I also use Gestalt therapy, which means that I assist couples, families, groups and individuals in increasing their self-awareness through active techniques. Techniques that I often employ are instruction and modeling of communication skills, family role-playing, empty chair, fantasy work and between session interactive assignments. This “homework” is a vital part of the therapeutic process. The completion of homework is necessary if the client is to get the most from the therapeutic experience. I have experience working with adults who are experiencing difficulties in life that may include also having a mental health diagnosis. I have experience as an MST Therapist and MST Supervisor. MST is a type of intervention for at-risk teens and families.

A Dalworthington Gardens licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives.

A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
