It takes tremendous courage to seek out help and be vulnerable with another human being. That vulnerability deserves to be met with genuine interest, kindness and compassion. I see effective counseling as a supportive partnership based on mutual respect and trust and I am fully committed to providing you with confidential and professional counseling services based on my professional education, specialized training and life experiences. My therapeutic approach is integrative, client centered and guided by the overall assumption that our self-perceptions and world view impact our interpretations of life events and ultimately our feelings, and reactions to those experiences.

I believe that we all experience trauma at some point in our lives whether we recognize it or not. Unaddressed and unprocessed trauma affects all aspects of our lives - school, work, parenting and relationships. Initially, my goal is to help individuals understand and identify trauma and how it impacts everyday living. As the therapeutic process continues, I will aid in creating new healthy pathways of thinking as well as how to react and respond to triggers that result from past traumatic events.

I do my best not to judge anyone who comes to my office, so I don't have an ideal client. Everyone who comes in is experiencing some sort of crisis or breakdown in their life and wants some relief from their suffering and confusion. I provide a safe, calm, comforting environment that allows us to talk about the client's concerns and figure out a way to get through the crisis and learn how to prevent future breakdowns.

I approach clients with the utmost support, care, and concern for their overall health and wellness. Every effort is made to ensure the best possible therapeutic experience while offering a high degree of professionalism yet connectedness with each client.

Life is so hectic and crazy these days that many of us run through life on autopilot. We lose focus of what is truly important to us and what gives our life fulfillment and meaning. We stop listening to our inner self! I believe that Therapy should give you a quiet and peaceful space where you are able to create moments of reflection and gain a better understanding of who you truly are and who you want to become. Exploring what is holding you back, weighing you down, and then learning how to move yourself into a calmer, healthier space.

Do you want a more rewarding life for yourself and your child? Is your child acting out? Has his or her behavior changed? Has your child experienced a stressful or traumatic situation?

Welcome...I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas and have over a decade of experience working with a variety of issues and ages. Life can bring anyone unexpected changes and challenges, whether in relationships, school. or in the family.

Being a young person is a rough time full of transition, confusion, and big decisions that seem overwhelming. Trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be are deep, lingering questions that can leave young people feeling angry, lost, paralyzed by fear, and searching for a distraction so they don't have to "worry about it." Young people look to numb or avoid these thoughts with substances, relationships, distractions, over-achievement, and anger to survive questions of identity and esteem. Failure to want to try at all or strict perfectionism all come from the same place of just not feeling "good enough."

Who among us hasn't felt out-of-sync, overwhelmed or alone? It's not a matter of "if" something hits us, but "when", and I'm not being pessamistic. What determines how well we ride out a crisis is how many healthy coping skill "tools" we have, and many a loving family didn't equip us with many. I hope clients coming to therapy with me will learn that therapy is not about changing you, but more about re-thinking old situations, our role in them, letting go of old hurts, grudges, & allowing some forgiveness of self & others.
