Many people begin seeing a therapist when they are feeling "stuck in a rut", overwhelmed with stress, have lost meaning in their lives, or are feeling disconnected from themselves or others. I am a licensed psychologist, specializing in helping people who are struggling with many different issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life stress, and healing from physical or sexual abuse. As a psychologist, my goal is to assist my clients gain a deeper understanding of the problems and issues that brought them into therapy and help them heal and grow in a meaningful way.

People sometimes struggle with the idea of going to see a counselor. Often it's difficult to know where to begin. Sometimes finding the right counselor can mean finding new hope, new choices--a new life. My task is to create a protected space so that you'll feel comfortable and safe. I listen carefully, objectively, with kindness and humor and without judgment. I respond with training, intuition, insight, honesty, and engage a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue. I consider it a privilege that clients are willing to share their lives with me and I honor that trust.

I work with clients to offer serious relief from the effects of trauma, depression and anxiety on their lives. Tools like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, as well the creation of a judgement-free space to talk can bring hope to the stuck parts of our worlds, and finally allow us to be present in our own lives again. Finding relief can feel like taking a first deep breath after being underwater for a long time, and that's an outcome worth fighting together for.

Aberrations in the human condition can be very complex with roots that extend throughout the bio-psycho-social context. It often takes more than one treatment modality. I approach each client with an open mind to discover what will work in each client as I see them. Each client is given resources for self-discovery, self-healing, and self-empowerment.

I've worked in the mental health field for over 23 years, serving in both the military and civilian settings. I specialize in treating unresolved trauma issues, as well as depression, stress and anxiety. Traumatic issues include childhood abuse (physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect), sexual assault (including military), crime/theft, car accidents, grief/loss, combat, first responders/medical professionals, veterans (including moral injury) and poor leadership. My experience has taught me that most of the time depression and anxiety are unresolved emotional wounds that haven't been fully addressed.

**Now Accepting New Clients** I see adults and adolescents who typically present with anxiety and/or depression. If I had to name just one specialty, it would be anxiety. Most people suffer some form of it at some point in their lives. When left untreated, it can lead to more severe symptoms and a whole host of diagnoses. I practice primarily Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I will talk to you about your beliefs, expectations, and how you experience the world. I'll teach you to be more accepting of yourself, so you can stop judging and reacting from created stories. I will also help you improve foundational behaviors.

I have extensive experience working with adults and older adults who are going through life transitions, aging issues, caregiving stress, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. My work with older adults has been as a psycotherapist for ten years with Dr. Jaron Winston,M.D.in Austin, Texas At Senior Adults Specialty Healthcare. I then worked at Baylor Scott& White Healthcare for ten years with adults and couples. My recent work has been 5 years with Willowbrook Psychological in Houston, Texas. I am now working in a solo practice by Telehealth only.

When we experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is common to feel like our lives are unravelling. My greatest passion as a black female therapist is bringing understanding and healing to those who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience or struggle with chronic mental/developmental health challenges. I want to be a breath of fresh air for my therapy clients in Texas! My approach is interactive, warm, and accepting. I cultivate a therapeutic environment that makes my clients feel safe, heard, and understood so they can begin their therapeutic journey of finding peace, healing, and new beginnings.

I help people who’ve lost touch with what makes them happy or what really matters to them, often feeling pretty swamped by their emotions. I assist those struggling with depression, substance abuse, anxiety, OCD, panic, and insomnia. I have a special place in my heart for working with the LGBTQI+ community, and I'm also dedicated to helping military and law enforcement personnel. Together, we find ways to get their lives back in balance and reconnect them with the people and activities that truly define who they are.

Depressive and anxious thoughts do not have to take over your days and keep you from having a peaceful life. From my personal experience as well as research, I can assure you that people do get better and they are able to live a more satisfying and fulfilling life using some basic cognitive and behavioral tools. I had patients tell me: "this is the most peaceful I've ever been", and "I've always known myself as a depressed person, but now it only feels like a bad ankle that I can ignore and live a fulfilling life with". Basic tools of CBT and ACT have helped thousands of people, you can be one too.

I love people, and I love helping people through struggles. I listen with a non-judgmental caring heart, knowing we have all struggled in different ways. I would be honored to help guide you to the first and/or next steps in your healing journey.

Life is challenging and at times may feel overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve recently been struggling with anxiety, grief, sadness, or depression. Maybe old issues, you thought you had left behind, have been resurfacing and interfering with your peace of mind and ability to manage your emotions. Seeking recovery and freedom from past or current trauma is a courageous endeavor. You deserve a respectful, judgment-free, supportive and, most importantly, safe place, where you can begin your journey to healing and peace; where you will learn to trust and feel safe to be you again.

When life feels tough, and the day-to-day can feel like a struggle, it can be difficult to know where to turn for help. You may be telling yourself that you can solve whatever is troubling you on your own, or that only weak people go to therapy. The truth is that life can be tough and everyone needs helps sometimes. Reaching out for help is a very brave step. I will help support you in gaining insight into yourself, identifying the areas of your life that you would like to change, and we will work as a team to help you create a life that feels better to you. You are not alone. I am here to help.

I have a genuine and enduring love for people. I understand that seeking therapy may sometimes feel intimidating, but I endeavor to create a safe, supportive space for people to explore opportunities for growth and change in their lives. I believe in helping people to find their voice, while empowering them to see the strengths that they already have inside.
