Reclaim a more energetic, joyful, and fulfilling life with family, friends, and special occasions....and feel peace with food using mindful eating.

Seeking therapy can be a scary thing, but it doesn’t have to be. Counseling can help us to be a better version of ourselves, while also allowing us the opportunity to understand the roles others play in the process. Perhaps you’ve been feeling sad or hopeless, withdrawing from others, and feeling disconnected or numb. Maybe you feel “on edge” and are unsure why. Sometimes these struggles require us to stop, seek support, and ask for help. And that’s okay. Together, we will work to find what it is you are looking for.

***Lunchtime through Evening Tues-Thursday Appts.*** Does your relationship feel stuck, not what it once was? Are you ready for it to change, for the better?

You're tired of the anxiety and confusion of a complicated relationship. Or maybe it's time to work on you! You're ready to make sense of things, to work through a difficult time, to heal from the past, or to make positive changes? I can help you get to the heart of the matter and feel better.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Texas and Oklahoma. I graduated with a Master of Science in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University. I have been certified in TF-CBT for five years.

Sometimes you can be in a room full of people and feel totally alone. You tell yourself that if anyone else knew your struggles they wouldn’t understand, they'd tell you to “get over it” or worse, they would reject you completely. We often strive to prove our value as people through achievement or by doing for others, and we lose sight of who we are and what we want. You deserve a space where you can be truly seen, heard, and accepted as you are where you're at; counseling can be that place.

As an LMFT, I inspire to help others navigate the murky waters of life. Life is messy and hard with many complicated relationships. Through dedication, honesty, trust, and compassion I will help you understand yourself and your emotions to improve the relationships that connect you. I consider myself a late bloomer in life, as a childhood trauma had a hold of me, and I stopped progressing emotionally. About 13 years ago, I began the journey of healing myself, through processing the trauma, and no longer allowing it to control me. Through this journey, I found myself, and finding myself changed my life!

It is my intention and my hope to bring warmth, comfort, skill, mindfulness, confidentiality and good humor into each client partnership.

I have been in education for 35 years and served adolescents as a counselor for the past 20 years. My areas of interest include anxiety, panic attacks, grief and phobias that clients often experience. What I find most helpful to people is to provide a warm and safe place to express the feelings and experiences in a non-judgmental atmosphere.
