Are you struggling with your relationships or feeling stuck somehow in your life? Do you feel like you keep repeating the same negative cycles and don't know how to change? I am here to tell you that there is hope and you can change your life and relationships! I am passionate about helping people understand, get to the root of their problems and solve them, not just deal with the symptoms of those problems. I am a faith based coach with a doctorate in counseling and I have helped hundreds of individuals and couples break free from negative patterns of thinking and behavior and replace those patterns with positive, healthy ones.

Do you feel distracted or overwhelmed by constant worries? Are you having a hard time getting through the day? Perhaps life has thrown you a curveball and you're trying to figure out how to cope with a difficult and unexpected situation. My role as a therapist is to support you through these challenges so that you can thrive despite the issues at hand. By providing you a safe space to share your struggles, to examine who you are - your hopes, fears, old habits and limiting beliefs that hold you back, we can then address the problems at its core.

I consider my career in counseling to be the privilege of a lifetime My more than 25 years of practice have been a source of satisfaction and pride as I have been allowed to foster deep, trusting alliances with my clients and guide them toward a more meaningful life experience. My goal is to partner with you in identifying and working together towards resolution of your worries, concerns and emotional challenges.

I am a passionate counselor who seeks to meet my clients where they are. It's important for me that my clients feel safe and heard during a session. I prefer to work with the client in a collaborative effort and with open communication will be at the forefront.

I am a therapist, life coach and self-published author that is passionate about mental health awareness, especially within the African-American community! I am a fully Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) for the state of Texas and a Board Certified Professional Chrisitan Counselor (BCPCC) through the International Board of Christian Care. I recently began offering Christian Counseling services and hope to be able help bridge the gap between faith and psychology. I am also an advocate for Mental Health awareness and volunteer with the National Association for Mental Illness (NAMI) in my spare time.

There are so many reasons that someone walks into my office- and every single one is valid and important. If you are struggling to process a past or recent trauma, finding yourself in a battle with your internal critic, or struggling to be your most authentic self due to fear or shame, you have come to the right place. I know it isn't easy to open up about your experiences, those well-guarded thoughts or feelings, and I will honor that.

Inclusive Counseling provides individual, couples, family, & group therapy regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc., via Telehealth . All individuals have value and the capacity to create positive change in their own lives. Connecting or 'clicking' with your therapist is essential to therapeutic progress. I am most effective treating individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with relationship issues, family conflict, coming out and other LGBTQ related concerns, substance abuse, parenting, grief and loss, and physical, sexual, and emotional abuse.

You deserve to enjoy your life. If you feel like everyday is battle to keep yourself and/or your child from melting down, or you struggle to connect with your own identity because of the exhaustive nature of parenting, you are not alone. By the time parents speak with me, they commonly feel exhausted, angry, and hopeless about how to help their child. Imagine enjoying most of the time spent with your child. What if there was a feeling of mutual respect and connection in your relationship to your child? Picture your life in two months. Now, in two years- what if things stay the same?

I have been in the field since 2013 with a primary focus of working with teens and young adults who have experienced trauma, life transitions, depression, and many other mental health needs. I received my B.S degree in Psychology at Oklahoma Wesleyan University and my M.S degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Lubbock Christian University. I plan to be trained in EMDR by fall 2023.

My main passion in the counseling field is relationships. It is my belief that relationships are the foundation of life. We have relationships not only with others, but with ourselves, our higher power, and the world around us. Often times, when our relationships are suffering, we are suffering. It is my goal to help you identify which relationship needs healing and to set goals to find that healing to help bring wholeness to your life.

I treat a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and psychological problems, working with all ages - individuals, couples, and families. I have helped developmentally delayed children and their families, as well as troubled teenagers in need of residential treatment. I participated in research regarding successful parenting practices, and have facilitated positive change in some children by working just with the parents.

I am committed to helping my clients achieve their goals. I believe that counseling can promote a lifestyle that results in physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I focus on the client as a whole individual, rather than a disorder, and encourage healthy behaviors across various aspects of life. I conceptualize individuals and form treatment plans tailored to each client's unique characteristics, strengths, values, and needs. I work diligently to create a safe, empathic, and supportive environment for my clients.

Life is hard — Sometimes it helps to have an outside objective view to support and navigate you through growth and changes that lead to healing and peace. Whether working through a specific issue or just trying to manage life. I will join you as you walk through your experiences, offering a safe place to tell your story. I believe relationship is paramount to healing. I will bring authenticity, understanding and compassion to meet you where you are, see you, hear you and value you.

My personal philosophy of counseling begins and ends with grace and a willingness to enter into an individual's experience alongside them. I entered this field because I feel that I have an authentic listening heart that desires to see people live as whole, healthy individuals. I have a passion for issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and marriage & family. I believe that each person is a unique individual who is capable of self-awareness, freedom of choice, responsibilities, and the search for value and meaning in life. ​

Sometimes as we go through difficult seasons personally or in our relationships in life, dark thoughts can begin to arise: “How did I get here?”, “I don’t know how much longer I can do this.”, “What’s the point in trying anymore”, and it goes on. Being lost in these questions and the darkness can be so consuming that we reach a point to where we don’t even recognize the person in the mirror anymore. I am here to tell you, you don’t have to fight that agonizing fight alone. I want to turn this dark season of life to illumination of purpose, uncovering truth and strength.

I specialize in working with eating disorders, mood disorders (depression, anxiety), and prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum conditions. I use a values-driven, collaborative counseling approach, and highly value the therapeutic relationship. I consider therapist-client fit to be a major factor in therapeutic change. As a therapist, I am committed to establishing a safe place for you to process struggles, help you uncover the deeper “root issues,” and identify/ modify ways of coping.

Do you worry about the future? Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you tired and drained? Do you feel stuck in habits, behaviors, or thoughts? Do you emotionally eat? Are you unsure of what to do next? Are you trying to figure out life and what it means to be an adult? I can help YOU! You can learn tools to help navigate and lead a more peaceful, fulfilling life. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and body positivity (health at every size/intuitive eating). I can work with you to develop coping skills and habits that will help you grow into the person you'd like to be.

This is always the hard part, finding a counselor that feels right for you, and the initial discomfort in meeting them for the first time. I will endeavor to make this part as seemless as possible while striving to see the world through your eyes. We often have the idea that if we don't solve our problems alone we have somehow failed. I believe that we can thrive when we are able to discuss our problems with someone we trust. My hope is that I can provide a space where you feel comfortable dicussing your concerns. You've come this far, all that's left is to take those first few, difficult steps. I offer reduced rates for counselors.

I hold the belief that every person is the expert on their own self. Sometimes we just need help understanding what that means. That is where I come in as a therapist, to walk with you, reflect and understand the knowledge you already have of yourself. I find joy and fulfillment in understanding others and taking part in their journey to self-discovery. I recognize that each person is a uniquely complex individual and as such, has a uniquely complex set of needs from therapy. I work to meet you where you are, taking the time to understand what you need, and will happily walk with you on the journey to reach those needs.
