LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Lubbock County, TX
I am an advocate for the healing power of counseling. I can offer guidance and support to the individuals and couples that are willing to start that journey. Life is about facing adversity and coming out stronger on the other side. No one should have to face the world alone. I can offer my clients a safe and understanding environment where they are free to work through the issues that keep them from living the life that gives them meaning. I work with my clients to develop the best treatment goals for meeting their needs. I meet each client where they are and walk with them through their healing journey.

I graduated from UTK College of Social Work and have a varied background, including working in community mental health, residential facilities, and private practice.

The therapeutic process is a healing process. Healing takes place both internally and within the context of relationship. We constantly shift and change day to day, week to week, year to year. Changes can be going from sleeping to waking, from changing our routines, or outdated patterning. Changes can come in the form of a new baby, a new marriage, a new job; and they can also be divorce, death, health issues, or a sudden move. Inherent in every change is a level of questioning, worry, and concern either internal or external. I do believe change is a wonderfully empowering catalyst to growth and healing.

Overwhelmed. Uncertain. Numb.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a strengths-based approach, helping you make sense of your story and build tools for lasting change.

Children can have a hard time navigating their world through big changes, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

It can help children and teens to have someone meet them where they are at without judgment or previous expectations to help sort through what may be overwhelming or scary.

Unfortunately, life doesn't come with a roadmap. It can be hard to know what the "right" next step is. Whether you're a college student adjusting to a new chapter, a young adult feeling uncertain about what's next, or a couple wanting to strengthen your relationship, life can sometimes feel overwhelming. You may feel pressure to have everything figured out while quietly wondering if you're making the right decisions. You may find yourself overthinking, struggling with anxiety, feeling down and stuck, or repeating patterns that no longer serve you. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

I also work with a number of LGBTQIA clients, compulsive eaters and substance abusers.
It takes courage to come to therapy and most people do so when life seems unbearable. Others come because they want to grow in some way and believe therapy can make a difference in their lives. My ideal client is someone who is self-motivated and ready to "work" in therapy. I work with men, women and older adolescents. I work best with individuals who are ready for positive changes in their lives and who want to improve the quality of their life and their relationships.
