I worked in Texas for 30 years and work with adults and teens. I now do only telehealth in TX.

Society Today is faced with multiple Life stressors ranging from Financial, Marital, Relational, issues with employment and or Life In General. Through Therapy, an Individualized Improvement Plan can be devised and implemented to assist individuals with coping and possibly overcoming the issues they are facing. Adolescents and Teens are complicated, and I am eager to assist. Teen groups are available as well as individualized treatment. Two people working together are always better than one. As a therapist I have learned the more input a client contributes to their therapeutic goals the better the outcomes and success possibility.

It takes courage to reach out for assistance. I acknowledge that, and welcome you to an environment that asks questions, and promotes change! In my practice, I strive to make the client feel safe, comfortable, and understood from the moment we meet. The quality of the connection between the client and the therapist is fundamental to emotional growth and genuine change. I understand that there are certain feelings, problems, relationship dynamics and behaviors that one would like to feel better about as soon as possible. My practice does not ignore one's need for change in the here and now!

I earned a BA degree in English Literature from Bethel University, followed by a Master of Divinity degree from Princeton Seminary, and a Masters in Counseling degree from the University of North Texas. Since 1995, I have dedicated my career to counseling, serving in various counseling agencies, psychiatric hospitals, a medical institution in Dallas, and providing private practice therapy services in the Dallas metro area. Throughout these years, I've had the privilege of assisting numerous individuals, couples, and families in processing their concerns and overcoming challenges.

Social workers typically have an interesting life story and personal experiences with tragedy that tug at our heartstrings. I am no different. At times, I wonder "how is it that I have survived these mountains and valleys?" Despite personal tragedy, loss, and despair, influential people have served as beacons of hope throughout the years in my life.

I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Texas. I have over 9 years of professional experience providing counseling services to individuals, groups, and families.

Then, I became very interested in studying human behavior and decided to pursue a master's degree in Psychology.

Feeling invalidated and frustrated? Have you felt misunderstood or worried about what others think of you? Or how about numb, shutdown, and disconnected from yourself? Sounds like you are having a human experience. I can relate. Breaking cycles and choosing to do things differently will be the best gift you will give yourself. This will be the most fulfilling journey of your life…choosing yourself! I work with older adolescents (16-19), adults, couples, and families dealing with a wide range of challenges such as transitions, low self-esteem, lack of boundaries, anxiety, self-doubt, and lack of purpose.

Therapy is for you! So, I want to truly hear you, make you feel valued, and empathetically empower you to embrace and express your most authentic self as we collaboratively nurture a full and meaningful life—whatever this means for you. I not only believe you possess the capacity for positive transformation, but I also believe you are worthy of genuine loving-kindness, inner tranquility, and the opportunity to grow and go whichever direction fills your soul’s cup. As such, I cultivate a safe and validating space in which you can heal, change, unwind, vent, self-care, or whatever else you may need.

Do you come from a family that just "didn't do emotions"? Have you gone to a therapist in the past only to have your fears come true, feel disregarded, or feel like therapy just isn't for you? I specialize in meeting people where they are and introducing positive mental health to those who have been skeptical to see a therapist in the past. Whether assisting a teenager in defining what they want their future to look like, processing trauma with a veteran/first responder, or guiding an individual to break the chains of addiction, I am confident in our ability to work collaboratively towards accomplishing your goals.

Life can be wonderful, interesting, challenging but no one ever said it would be easy! Never before have we faced such a difficult onslaught of problems affecting our work, school, social and even medical aspects of our lives. The good news is that counseling has never been easier to access. Our friends tell us what we want to hear, counselors tell us what we need to hear and give us the tools to make changes to help us on our journey. I have been a counselor since 1991 and am just as passionate about my work today as the day I started.
