I have experience working with adults, teenagers, and couples with Anger Management, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, Addiction, Behavioral Issues, Codependency, Coping Skills, Depression, Dual Diagnosis, Eating Disorders, Schizophrenia, Trauma, PTSD, and many more.

My counseling style is practical and positive. I am passionate and I treat you with respect. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, reality therapy, and is solution-focused.

It’s time to focus your energy on things that will push you toward success. Life doesn’t have to be a constant balancing act. You can have peace. Facing anxiety in one or more areas of your life? Constantly worrying about the future, consistently feeling “on-edge” and easily irritated? Frustrated with where you are in your career and wanting more? Having trouble creating and sticking to boundaries and goals? Struggling to maintain healthy relationships? It’s time to take control of your emotions. Ready to finally manage your anxiety once and for all, so you can start enjoying the life?

Whether the clients are struggling with work, school, relationships, family or behavioral concerns, I am here to work with them. Clients who are dissatisfied with their lives, their past traumas, and/or their overall well being who are ready to set forth on a journey of self-exploration, self actualization, and self-improvement will be met with acceptance, value, and respect from me. You cannot change your future by remaining who you are. Clients who come to the realization that they deserve more than what they have been handed, and are ready to embrace the therapeutic process will gain self-awareness and self-fulfillment.

Our mission is to help anyone struggling with emotional distress. We work with children, adolescents, families, individuals, and couples. We offer a FREE 15-minute phone consult to anyone who is new to the counseling process. This is a no pressure call. We will assess your current needs and concerns and decide if we can work together to address them. Our counselors believe in the counseling process and want you to have the best counseling experience possible. We offer emergency sessions, intensive counseling, assessments, play therapy, pre-marital/couples, and bilingual counseling.

My specialties are teens and adults with anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, life changes, parenting, and teen behaviors. If you’re an adult experiencing any of the above challenges or are uncertain about your purpose, you're at the right place. If you have a teen who is struggling behaviorally, as a former School Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with at-risk youth, I can provide your teen with the right tools to improve their behavior. While, adults and teens of all racial and ethnic backgrounds seek me out for services, African American/Black and other minorities specifically find value in my services.

I truly believe in the statement: "A calm and undisturbed heart and mind are the life and health of the body..." I understand dealing with hard times. It is my goal to help people live and achieve more satisfying lives. Whether you are dealing with anger, feeling disconnected, marital / relationship issues, anxiety, depression, loneliness, chemical/ alcohol dependency, family, or teen & adolescent issues, seeking professional help is always a start to making changes and growth.

Are you addicted to escaping? Together we can create a detailed plan that will address substance abuse issues that have been preventing you from living a more healthy existence. Let me help you improve the quality of your life through your recovery. Don't suffer in silence. Recovery is a team effort to forgive your younger self, believe in your current self and create your future self.

I help clients set personal goals for treatment. Every therapy session is interactive and engaged with the client to process personal growth. Client will achieve personal goals on their own time. I do apply evident-based and cognitive behavior to allow the client to process and provide self evaluation. The goal of every session is like the value of the postal stamp, "We will stick to it until we get there".

WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW APPOINTMENTS. Does your relationship need a 'double dip' of enrichment? Is your adolescent experiencing behavioral issues at home or in school? Has a series of unforeseen events or toxic relationships resulted in your feeling 'weighed down'? Do you sense as though you are at a crossroad in your personal, professional or spiritual life? Are you in the midst of a divorce and need help with co-parenting counseling? Do you have unresolved emotions regarding your past? Are you unfulfilled in your current relationship?

As therapist, it is my role to provide a safe, non judgmental atmosphere to ensure you feel valued, worthy, and safe in order to experience restoration and transformation.

The CHOSEN lifestyle is about embodying adaptability and resilience, overcoming challenges gracefully, and shaping a life that aligns with your truest self. It's a lifestyle for individuals like you who juggle immense responsibility without always having the authority yet handle it with poise. High-achieving, driven, ambitious, but maybe struggling with anxiety, irritability, relationally, and putting yourself first. Your Struggles Are Valid: you might feel like a fraud, battling that persistent fear of being seen as inadequate. "Superwoman,” and when you can't meet those sky-high expectations, it hits hard.

Before I start, I want you to know that you are not broken beyond repair, you are not too damaged, and you seeking help says more about your strength than anything else. Being on Psychology Today is a massive first step, and even if it is not with me, I genuinely hope you continue to reach out to professionals on here to get the help you deserve. That being said, I offer online sessions for anyone in the state of Texas, as well as in-person sessions in Carrolton. My ideal client is anyone who is willing to be honest, genuine, and vulnerable about the struggles and concerns occurring in their life.

“I thought I would be married by now.” “Why do I keep picking the same kind of partner?” “It’s like my parents don’t respect me as an adult!” “No one respects my ‘no’.” “I feel like I’m drowning.” “Maybe I should get another degree.” “Why does it seem like everyone around me is a narcissist?” "I don't know if I'm making the right decision." "I feel stuck." “I can’t trust anyone. People always disappoint me.” “I don’t want to burden anyone else with my stuff, they have their own problems.” “I’m there for everyone else but no one is there for me.”

Are you or someone you know dealing with substance use disorders, anger management issues, or domestic violence? I'm here to help! I've been able to help countless clients overcome these challenges and achieve a happier, healthier life. Let me support you on your journey towards a better tomorrow.
