I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Texas with 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, career challenges, low relationship problems, self-esteem, anger control issues, impulsive behavior, self-harming behavior, chronic suicidal ideations, trauma and adverse childhood experiences. I am currently accepting clients M-F at 8pm and Saturday between 1 and 5 pm. My experience is varied and across many fields as I have worked in multiple agencies with vastly different populations. I have worked with children and families through the state and through federal programs. I have worked in inpatient mental health assisting patients in crisis management of chronic or acute mental health conditions. I also have experience at inpatient rehabilitation settings dealing with addiction and recovery. Throughout my career I have assisted clients and patients from a variety of walks of life, from children aged 4 and up, to adults, families, homeless populations, military professionals, police officers, first responders, nurses, doctors and other counselors who have had a crisis or a life changing situation. My therapy style is empathetic and solution focused with my primary therapy models being CBT, ACT and Mindfulness. I believe all people deserve respect and compassion and I do not believe in treating people differently based on labels, stigmas or diagnosis. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes strength to seek for a more fulfilling and joyful life and courage to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you along your journey. I look forward to working with you!

I am a professional counselor, certified executive, and health coach. I have nine years of experience helping others overcome challenges and create purposeful, meaningful lives. I have worked with clients with various concerns, including chronic pain, chronic illness, stress, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, family problems, and career challenges. Many individuals I have worked with have had traumatic experiences. As a counselor and coach, one of my greatest strengths includes noticing and appreciating each person's unique characteristics. I do not treat everyone using the same approach because each person's response to stress, motivation to change, decision-making, relationship-building, and thinking styles are unique. As a result, I customize my approach accordingly. I draw from my extensive training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Neuroscience, Motivational Interviewing, Positive (Strengths-based) Psychology, Mind-Body Medicine, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to draw out the best in you. I view the therapeutic environment as a safe place to explore relationships, whether those relationships are with people (family, co-workers, partners) or things (food or money). I also believe an important part of therapy is addressing the social, economic, and cultural influences on a person and that the therapy process should be collaborative, with the client seen as the “expert” on their life. It takes great courage to take the first steps toward change, seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and determine your personal goals. But, if you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you on this journey to create your best life. I look forward to working with you!
