I am a LPC-S and LSOTP-S based in Lubbock, Texas. What keeps me passionate about this work today is seeing the growth and potential in my clients — watching them take steps toward real change excites me for their journey. My counseling style is structured, compassionate, challenging, and direct. I believe clients deserve honesty in the counseling process, and I’m not afraid to encourage deeper reflection and accountability. When someone sits down with me for the first time, I want them to feel comfortable and excited to start therapy. Beginning this process is a big step, let's start with a 15 minute free consult.
My goal is to provide active listening skills to each client I work with. It's their story and their journey. I understand that every client I work with has their own way of expressing their thoughts and emotions. I enjoy helping clients identify negative behavioral patterns in life that impact their relationships and learn to develop positive changes.
I work with R4A Counseling Service, PLLC. If you are someone who is seeking counseling services to process life decisions/changes contact me. I work with substance use, re-entry services, trauma, and relational conflicts. I see ages 13 to Adult ages.

In my work, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and a Person-Centered approach. These evidence-based methods allow me to help clients explore thought patterns, strengthen coping skills, and make choices that move them toward their goals. Clients can expect a balance of structure, compassion, and being challenged to think differently and grow.

I especially enjoy working with justice-involved clients because I believe there is potential and hope for them to learn to love themselves and build a life they can be proud of. When clients succeed, it not only transforms their own future — it also challenges the belief that society often holds, that there is no hope for change.
