Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, in the state of Texas, with over 20 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger issues, and life changing events. I also helped many people who have experienced low self-esteem issues or abuse and trauma. I have counseled many children, families, couples, and individuals in a variety of settings. My counseling style is non-judgmental, warm, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Reality Therapy counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your specific needs. My focus in counseling is to meet you where you are with acceptance and non-judgement, and to use an approach that will work best for you as we work toward meeting your therapy goals. With my experience, I genuinely believe I can help families and adults heal their relationships and work through the struggles they face. It takes courage to take this step for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the next steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you through your journey. You can do it. My motto is “Believe It, Speak It, Achieve It! I look forward to working with you.

I am a family and marriage counselor with experience working with adolescents, individuals and couples, I respect that personal growth is individualized and I honor the client's own sense of self reflection. I am an active listener and see the client and therapist connection as the basis of co-creators of healing for the client. I have experience in grief counseling, CBT, depression, anxiety using a myriad of approaches. I am a Christian but do not promote any dogmas that do not fit with the client's growth and focus. I draw upon my own life experiences ( I've been married for 50 years) as well as documented relationship work in my ongoing continuing education for relationship therapy.

I am an empowerment specialist (Therapist) who assists clients in finding their own answers. I understand that most issues that people seek help for, at its core, is devalue. When we are devalued we become very angry and hurt. Therapy is primarily an educational experience in which the client is given new information. The client is able to see how influences from early experiences shape us into the person we have become. Some of those influences are helpful but others are not. In the therapy process we must identify the "schemas" or tendencies that we learned from the elders in our families that have not served us well. Therapy is a journey not a destination. Therapy places a person on a journey of self discovery, open mindedness, and self love. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. I hold a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, now known as Forensic Psychology. I seek to empower my clients and give them their "microphone", their voice back. I seek to assist clients to claim or reclaim their identity and give them permission to claim the original Identity given to them by the creator. A quality life requires tough decisions and courage. Asking for help takes courage. Open up and begin your journey.....the world is waiting on you!
