Howard Thurman writes, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." My goal as a therapist is to partner with you on your journey and help you find what makes you come alive. Ask yourself this question: "Who could I be?" The person you could be is calling you forward out of who you have been.

English/Spanish services available. My experience as a therapist/counselor goes back at the school setting for 19 years, 12 as a K-12 school counselor.

Seeking help to resolve issues is the first step to healing.

If you're like many of my current clients, you're juggling life. On the outside, you seem to be "thriving," but on the inside you're overwhelmed, burned out, and burdened with your feelings. You’ve tried it all: working more hours, eating fewer calories, doing more “self care”... but you still hear that voice: "You’re not good enough." Trust me, you're not alone, and professional counseling can help. In our work together, you'll renew your sense of hope, deal with your burnout, and finally learn to apply your grit, creativity, and natural compassion to how you see yourself.

Selecting a counselor can be a daunting process. It may take several introductions or meetings to find a comfortable fit. The client should be an active part of the process of determining a good fit. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in the state of Texas. My education includes a BA in Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from University of Houston Clear Lake. My work experience in the mental health field includes various settings and populations such as inpatient, outpatient/private practice, psychosocial clubhouse, foster care, adoption/post adoption, and management of chronic pain.
