Attending a session with a counselor for the first time can be daunting. Anxiety abounds with the fear or hope of improving one's emotional life. We will focus first on building the relationship together in a non-judging, empathetic and caring manner that eases that anxiety. Many of us know that we are in need of relationship building with those we interact with, in our family, workplace, social setting, romantic interests and within marriage. We will work together to repair and practice connecting and communication skills needed to facilitate safe rewarding relationship habits.

Everyone has that moment where the pain is too much. I love giving people the space they need to explore what is causing the hurt, so that we can work together and find solutions. Sometimes that space or need is the schedule and the cost. I intentionally keep my office hours open for evening and occasional weekend sessions and my costs are designed to help those in East Texas that may not have insurance or high incomes.

I specialize in working with men around areas of sexual brokenness. I seek to help men change how sexual issues such as pornography, masturbation, anonymous sexual partners and impulse control affect their lives. My ideal client is a man who is struggling sexually, who feels like there is no hope. He thinks that if people really knew what he had done, he would lose the people closest to him. His guilt and shame constantly hound him, and he feels like the cycle of addiction can't be broken. He is looking for hope and a safe place to talk through his problems.

Life is hard! Whether it be stressors of everyday life, family or marital issues, school or work-related problems or because of recent or past trauma/grief, life can become messy. It gets hard not only for oneself, but also for loved ones or those around us. The reality is it happens to ALL of us. Sometimes all we need is for someone to listen with compassion and without judgment. Sometimes we require resources or coping strategies to help navigate the obstacles life throws at us. No matter what it is we need, therapy is the first step. Therapy equips us with the tools that we need to face whatever hardships we have.

Insight. Balance. Growth. These 3 elements are what I have found people are seeking when forming a working relationship with a professional psychologist. A balanced therapeutic perspective, someone who listens with insight, and a plan created WITH the client for sustained personal and/or professional growth - this is what I offer in my work with clients. It's an approach that has been successful with clients for over 3 decades. My clients describe me as warm, genuine, caring, and the process of change as enjoyable even though at times life circumstances can be difficult.

For as long as I can remember, I recognized a fire in me to be able to provide a safe place for those who needed it while advocating for the minority. Speaking as a queer woman, my lived experiences have directed me towards becoming an advocate for systemic equality and change. My passions lie in trauma-informed care, gender-affirming care, and helping high conflict relationships of all backgrounds navigate through their journey. I aim to cultivate a non-judgmental environment that allows for connection and validity. Together we can identify and utilize your inner potential and strength to nurture the growth you desire to achieve.

Hello and thank you for stopping by. When we say trauma, our go to is typically one event that has left us with symptoms of post traumatic stress. However, accumulated life cycle and emotional traumas can have significant impact to our function as well. These are the events that test our resilience and our emotional survival on a daily basis. Over time, it can feel as though “it” has changed us in a way we struggle to articulate. Sometimes we lay awake at night wondering how can we ever get back to normal. Sound familiar? I am here to help.
