I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents in Cooper and across Delta County who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, or a difficult life transition. Many of my clients are looking for a steady, judgment-free space to make sense of what they're going through — not a quick fix, but real support at a pace that respects where they are. I also work closely with local schools, faith communities, and healthcare providers, so referrals often come from someone in the community who already knows and trusts the client's situation. Whether you're just starting therapy or returning.
I use an integrative approach drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and attachment-based concepts, tailored to what actually fits your situation rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are available in person at my Cooper office or by secure telehealth anywhere in Texas. My goal isn't to hand you answers, but to help
