Life doesn't always look like rainbows and sunshine. Especially for teens and young adults. Navigating school, first jobs, career change, relationships, family, social media, expectations... but I don't have to tell you that. You need someone to come along side you and find the right path. Stress, anxiety, depression, feeling directionless, and insecurities are all things we struggle with, especially in times of transitions. Good news is you don't have to stay there. My goal is to supply you with the tools needed to get unstuck. Whether that's from depression, anxiety, trauma, or insecurity.

Serving others has been a life-long passion of mine. My goal in counseling is to provide a safe space for you to be your true, authentic self while finding the help you need–without feeling judged or criticized. We are all truly unique, and culture, family, friends, and circumstances can shape us in beautiful yet sometimes challenging ways. My hope is to meet you where you are and help you navigate any of life’s paths you may be walking down.

We are a team of Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists with a passion for helping clients to create changes that will lead them to a more fulfilling and healthy future. We believe that INTERNAL WELLNESS is of paramount importance and that it is the driving force behind the quality of our external lives. Having a HEALTHY EMOTIONAL BALANCE is reflected by an external life that is well balanced which often yields LOVE, JOY, PEACE and a HEALTHY SELF IMAGE. Just like we work on our physical bodies, it is important to adapt the same approach towards our INTERNAL WELLNESS.

Are you feeling stuck, overly anxious, can’t turn your mind off at night, low motivation, having moments of self-doubt and fear that keep you from moving forward, or find yourself in a cycle of poor relationships? Life can be rough and when you don’t have the skills to cope, it makes it even harder to get through each day. This is where I come in to help you become unstuck, explore the underlying reasons as to why you are on this hamster wheel so that you can begin making steps toward the life you want to live.

I am a firm believer that life is a journey and not a destination. Sometimes on this journey of life, we will encounter experiences that we need to walk through and not run through. It's a fact that challenges are apart of our lives. Your challenges don't have to overwhelm or overtake you. I am committed to helping you to be successful in your journey. I am committed to helping you identify and do the work to be your best for yourself and for those whose lives you touch. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental environment that is conducive to an honest, empathetic and direct exchange of information and ideas.

We all have to go through what we need to go through, to get to where we want to be. Coping skills changes and progress as we move through situations, learning how to be better equipped for these situations can seem daunting. Working on yourself to identify new perspectives, new insights and exploring a life that can truly make you happy is where I come in. Allow yourself to process the emotions tied to so many aspects of life with laughter and warmth.

I am a veteran and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 9 years of experience in the behavioral health field. While pursuing an education from Tarleton State University, I spent more than 4 years working in the mental health field providing case management, advocacy, counseling, and crisis response services to individuals living in rural communities. I have worked with clients in addressing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and substance use. I am most experienced in providing care for those ages 12 and up, as well as wide range of cultures and backgrounds.

I believe counseling is a collaborative working relationship between the counselor and the client. It is important to have a relationship based on mutual trust and respect where clients feel comfortable expressing thoughts and feelings freely without judgment. Counseling begins with the courage to take the first step toward change. My first priority is to provide a safe, trusting environment in order to explore avenues of growth and development.

During my time working for an eating disorder helpline and a crisis text line, I gained experience working with individuals who struggled with anorexia, bulimia, and mood disorders as well as relationship difficulties and family-of-origin conflicts. Utilizing a holistic, integrative approach, I take the time to get to know you before we determine together what strategies and solutions work best for you.

My core belief is that the solutions to our most profound questions reside within us. Yet, there’s immense power in sharing our narratives with a compassionate listener who can offer alternative perspectives. By collaboratively exploring your story, we can uncover the unconscious patterns and assumptions that may be inhibiting your growth and causing distress. My role as your therapist is to be that empathetic ear, providing a safe space for self-expression and development. Here’s what you can expect as we embark on this therapeutic journey together:

Have you ever been at a point in your relationship, where you know you love your spouse or partner, but at times you don’t like them very much? Or have you started a calm conversation, but find yourself going from 0 to 100 in record timing? Do you feel like you’re not being validated, heard, or understood? If you answered yes, to one, or all of the above questions, I have wonderful news, you’re not alone! I’m here to assist you and your spouse, or partner, with reconnecting and reestablishing loving, meaningful, and respectful communication.

Have you experienced a challenge that is impacting your sense of well being? I understand that at times we sense something is missing. Ignoring ongoing symptoms can cause a great divide in how we function emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually. I believe that many aspects of relationship interaction whether positive or negative, can affect how life is seen and lived. I am dedicated to your healing. Together we will find the best approach and set therapy goals according to your needs and wants and then celebrate your growth. I have extensive training in evidence based approaches that encourage growth and a healthy sense of fulfillment.

I conduct diagnostic evaluations, intelligence testing, personality testing, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I work mostly with clients age 18 and older. In treatment, issues addressed include anxiety disorders, coping with stress, relationship/marital issues, cultural/spiritual issues, mood disorders, and issues related to aging. I also conduct workshops on different psychological topics. For example, how to manage differences in personality or financial attitudes in a romantic relationship. Or, how to manage conflict in romantic relationships. Workshop details can be found on my website.

As a long time educator, I believed every child has a story. I have since learned that children grow up and their stories do not end. We all have a story. That story impacts us as it continues to develop. Extrinsic factors far beyond our control can influence the next chapter of our story. Life is not always what we wanted or expected, but it is never too late for a plot twist. Awareness of your story is essential in order to ignite a change. Not every chapter is filled with happiness or pride in ourselves, but those are the chapters of life where we find the most growth.
