I work with young children, tweens, and teens to build self-awareness, compassion, and healthy communication. Most of the individuals with whom I work suffer with social skills, anxiety, poor self-image, or impulse control concerns. I use a collaborative style of treatment that includes input from the child themselves, the parents, and other health care providers. I believe it is crucial to consider developmental level, motivation, support systems, and current strengths to help build healthier forms of coping.

You do not need to keep trying to cope with disturbing memories. EMDR sessions can relieve the emotion and sensations that are tied to the event and that keep getting triggered, causing endless pain.

An individual may be overwhelmed with their life choices and feeling depressed, anxious or stuck in a daily rut. People need to be heard and understood. Discussing various alternative reactions to life situations helps that person visualize a better outcome for themselves. Everyone wants to feel better and more optimistic at the end of a therapy session. Learning to change some behaviors can assist a person to a more productive and optimistic outlook on their existence.

Areas of special interest include marital conflict, mood disturbances (anxiety and depression), emotional abuse, divorce and stepfamily issues, low self-esteem and boundary problems, trauma recovery, relationship skills, neuropsychology, and faith-based counseling (if requested).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor in the state of Texas. I have experience working with children, adolescents, teens, couples and families and desire to help you develop thinking patterns and behavior to work through your current situations. Everyone has a "situation" of which they are challenged, and I pride myself in providing a comforting environment in which a healthy, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritual solution is encouraged and cultivated.

My goal as a counselor is to first set a firm foundation of trust and comfort. Second becoming aware of clients' presenting issues or challenges, then provide tools to manage and move forward with a healthy and productive life. Clients will quickly learn I'm here to support and encourage them in a less formal role than traditional counselors. I'm not a touchy- feely counselor but do approach my sessions with empathy. I have a very expansive history of highs and lows and learned myself that a little outside help can be life changing. - Proud US Veteran

I help successful Texas professionals figure out what’s missing. If you don’t know why you’re not happy, let’s talk. If that harsh Inner Critic berates you, let’s talk. Maybe Imposter Syndrome follows you around. Maybe you had an unstable childhood, and no matter how much you achieve, you can’t shake that feeling of being “less than” others. You’re lonely, anxious, and hard on yourself...even though everyone around you thinks you’re so impressive! I help people just like you quiet the Critic, ditch the shame, and feel alive and happy, often for the first time in years.
