Superior HealthPlan Therapists in Harrison County, TX

I am honored to be able to assist others with challenges throughout life and I have been counseling clients for over 15 years. I have worked with trauma, and criminal justice issues as well as using play therapy. I am trauma focused and I believe trauma colors our behaviors and our future self. I use Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing therapy to explore past trauma that is affecting your life.

I want to begin by saying, your pain is a valid experience. Counseling is a place to be heard, feel supported, and learn some new ways to handle your everyday life concerns. These concerns may be your struggling marriage, difficulties parenting, the strain of being a teenage, adjustments in life, difficulties at work or your mood in general. Many times, we know what the problem is, but are not sure what to do about it. That’s OKAY! You are not supposed to automatically know what to do in every situation. Counseling can help you better understand your situation & teach you to cope more effectively.

Struggling with life transitions? From concerns at school, marriage, fertility, work, and overall life stressors, we can work together to identify solutions. I have been a counselor since 2006 and a mom since 2014. I enjoy working within my community and helping identify where mental health can be destigmatized. Life transitions can be difficult, and I want to help you identify and meet your goals.

Being a first responder and/or a veteran breeds a sense of self-reliance and the mindset of being able to take care of anything thrown at us. You're mental health is no exception. You've got this.

Trauma turns your world on its head, not only through the event but the aftermath. Anger, grief, confusion- all of these responses may come out of children, teens, and even adults by lashing out, throwing tantrums, making impulsive decisions, losing focus, and withdrawing from friends and family. These big changes are hard to process and can cause not only your child but you and your family to struggle. You're tired of trauma stealing the family, the child, the life you had before. You need someone to walk with you through this, and I'd love to be that person.

Do you ever feel like you try your best, but you don't succeed? That you get what you get what you want, but not what you need? You feel so tired, but you can't sleep. You feel stuck in reverse and no where to turn. You are not alone. There is support on the other end of your phone. I will help you look at what you CAN do, with the energy and focus you DO have. Little wins pave the way for bigger wins.
