Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LSOTP-S
Downtown, Houston, TX 77002
I am an affable person which allows others to feel comfortable around me. This characteristic has provided me the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life and who are facing challenges stemming from present circumstances or past traumatic experiences. My strong background in problematic sexual behaviors allows me the opportunity to help families in their family reunification process that follows the fragmentation caused by intrafamilial sexual abuse. My certification in EMDR, provides me the opportunity to offer individual services for juveniles and adult survivors of sexual assault.

Your inner world is limiting your ability to feel joy and security. You feel stuck, jaded and tired. Things that seem to work for others with ease are a challenge for you. You feel alone and misunderstood. You live in a world where feeling unheard and insignificant is the norm. Your need to be accepted often makes you invisible. It disconnects you from the deeper needs of love, connection and safety. You are tired of feeling this way for far too long and something, anything needs to change. Let me help!
I work with the stubborn parts of you which refuse to use the coping skills you've learned.

Are you struggling in a difficult relationship? Do you have a loved one battling addiction, a partner making harmful choices, or conversations with a family member that always seem to devolve into conflict? If you’re longing for a safe, supportive place to explore relationship challenges, painful memories, or deeper emotional wounds, you don’t have to walk alone. I offer a compassionate, grounded space to uncover patterns that no longer serve you and help you move toward healing aligned with your values and faith. Using EMDR, CBT, and EFT, I guide clients toward deeper understanding and renewed hope. Christian counseling available.

Many of my clients already have a level of insight into their struggles but feel stuck in patterns that won't budge. I’m a depth-oriented therapist specializing in work that focuses on the underlying source of issues. Twenty years of experience supporting clients with complex issues has provided a broad foundation that informs my therapeutic lens. I work with intention and offer a steady, attuned presence that helps clients listen more deeply to themselves—and begin to untangle patterns that may have felt fixed for years. I hold space for complexity, nuance, and for the quiet shifts that often lead to meaningful change.

Much of my work involves helping my clients identify what is going well for them, and learning ways to include more of those positives into their lives. This naturally helps reduce the sting of the negatives life throws at us. I help clients identify their own strengths and develop coping skills for use during difficult times. I have experience in helping clients work through past and recent traumas of all types. I’m a fully certified EMDR practitioner, which is a type of therapy that reprocesses trauma in such a way that clients end up feeling empowered by the same experiences that once debased them.
