Reality Therapy in Emory, TX

My passion for counseling was rooted in my experience with at risk youth from my childhood to my career in education. I saw the importance of being seen and heard and addressing the individual's needs to attain success versus expecting rote societal compliance. Transitioning to being a therapist from a school based educator was a direct response to understanding that we must first address our lived experience and individual needs to see how that informs our present circumstances and future goals; so that we can achieve our goals while also having autonomy regarding the pathway we choose to get there.

My philosophy supports the notion that mental health is the biggest investment a person can make for themselves. As people, we need to be able to recognize the things you can control, and the things you can't control. I believe if you always maintain a purposeful and positive mindset, no one can stop your journey to happiness, and overall significant wellness. As your counselor, I will do my best to help you find your inner best.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to entirely escape your past.
