Teen Therapists in Amarillo, TX

I believe that counseling is something that everyone can benefit from. Counseling is not advice giving; it is teaching, empathizing, and listening. Are you going through something that you're not sure how to deal with? Is your teen or preteen struggling with something and you don't know how to help? Are you feeling overwhelmed by emotions and life? I am here for you. As a graduate of Dallas Baptist University with a Master's of Arts in Professional Counseling, I have been trained to help you and it is something that I desire to do.

Life with all its blessings also comes with struggles, disappointments and loss. Sometimes the problems of life can mentally and emotionally overwhelm us and interfere with our ability to maintain valued relationships and/or function in our daily environment. It is in these times of mental and emotional distress that a trained therapist can come alongside you to help you process through these issues in a non-judgmental, empathetic and safe environment. I will assist in guiding you to a healthier perspective on those issues that are causing you mental and emotional pain.
