My undergraduate Degree is in Physical Education/English from the University of Texas/Arlington. I taught High School English and coached women's Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Cross Country before completing my Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Texas/Denton. I find that my teaching and coaching experience has greatly enhanced my skills as a counselor/therapist. I connect easily with people and gain their trust rather quickly and am able to teach them and motivate them to become their very best. I have experience working with Military personnel and their family members as a Department of Defense Counselor and as a Military Family Life Counselor. I have experience working with substance abuse having provided counseling for persons ordered to treatment by the courts. I have been providing counseling services for over twenty seven years both in private practice and as a full time employee, first with Dallas County Probation, then Department of Defense, then MHN as a consultant with the Military community. I have a very eclectic approach to therapy. I have to see what the client resonates with then offer that for them. I believe every person deserves to be safe and happy and i give my very best to help them achieve this. Because I have done a lot of trauma work i do a lot of work around the inner child. When you are raised in a dysfunctional homeor have experienced abuse and/or trauma the inner child, the keeper of the feelings often shows up to add a wrinkle to your present life. It is necessary to connect with the inner child and do some healing work in order to be happy in your present life. Sometimes it is hard but the end result is a completely happy person, comfortable in their own skin and in control of their emotions.

As a professional counselor, I approach therapy with a trauma-informed perspective, guided by the belief that every individual possesses the innate capacity to heal themselves. I view therapy as a collaborative process, honoring your unique history, values, and aspirations for the future. Together, we will identify your goals and work towards creating lasting change. Finding an anchoring point, searching for meaning, or determining the next steps in your life can seem daunting. However, therapy can provide a space where one can venture into the unknown, fostering understanding and paving the way for self directed change. Together, we will explore your experiences both in the present moment and from the past as they come up in session. Through the power of language and mindful awareness, we will seek meaning, make sense of behaviors and emotions, and create new possibilities for growth and healing. It would be an honor to join you on this path towards self-discovery, healing, and growth. You are not alone; I am here to offer my support and guidance in a safe and healing space. Thank you for considering me as your counselor. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.

As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive, respectful, and collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based interventions. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to develop the tools needed to navigate life’s difficulties. My specialty focuses on working with adults who are experiencing the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Many of the clients I work with struggle with issues such as abandonment wounds, rejection, low self-worth, shame, emotional neglect, and difficulty trusting others. These early experiences can also show up later in life as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, fear of vulnerability, difficulty setting boundaries, and patterns of seeking validation from others. In therapy, we work together to understand how these early experiences may still be influencing current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthier ways of responding and relating to yourself and others. I also focus on men’s mental health. Many men carry emotional pain silently due to cultural expectations around strength, independence, and self-reliance. I provide a space where men can openly explore challenges such as emotional disconnection, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, stress, and the pressure to perform or provide. My goal is to help men reconnect with their emotional lives, develop healthier coping strategies, and build stronger relationships. My background also includes working with individuals recovering from addiction and those rebuilding their lives after difficult life circumstances. Because of this experience, I approach therapy with a strong belief in resilience and the human capacity for growth and healing. Together, we focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and building practical skills that support long-term well-being and healthier relationships.
