You didn't end up here by accident. Something in you knows there's more: more clarity, more peace, more purpose, and you're tired of the gap between who you are and who you know you could be. For many people, the real struggle isn't out there in the world. It's the voice inside — the one that says you're not enough, that your past defines you, that change isn't really possible for someone like you. That internal narrative shapes everything: your relationships, your confidence, your ability to move forward. And when those stories go unexamined, they quietly run the show.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and frustrated? Does the past keep you stuck in your daily life and relationships? Trauma, depression, and anxiety typically do not develop overnight.

With my experience in cognitive and attachment-based therapy, I am dedicated to helping you find new perspectives and strategies to create real change in your life. We will focus on gaining insights, breaking through old beliefs, and making space for healthier habits.

I have helped teens, adults, and geriatrics with various issues.
Sometimes life can become stressful and challenging. Occasionally, people make choices to try to correct their problems, when in turn, it can make their issues more difficult. Whether these issues stem from a unhealthy marriage/relationship, career/job unhappiness, family problems, or just feeling "stuck", there are answers. My job is to help clients learn more effective methods of dealing with these stressors, assist clients to see the pattern that has been created, and guide them in a different direction. I see clients from age 12-elderly. I take most insurance. Call for an appointment today at (903) 939-2287.

My background includes service in the United States Navy, experience as a juvenile probation officer, and working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, at a standstill, or unsure of your next step, therapy can offer a supportive space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect, and at times, it can feel like you’re navigating challenges without a clear map. My hope is that through our work together, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of direction rooted in your own values and strengths.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
