Your story is unique, your experiences unlike ANY other. The process is to find you as you are, and to journey together to where you want to be. My years of work with traumatized and grief-stricken clients and families have brought the conclusion that anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationships are the barriers to a healthy self, to a meaningful and purposeful life. Determining the causes and our role in these barriers (overwhelming and unduly burdensome at times) will begin to get us unstuck. Circumstances likely have driven you to the point of therapy, but a great opportunity to regain control and find the healthy you.

Imagine coming to therapy, where you can unpack all your concerns, and be met with genuine care and zero judgment. Life sometimes seems like an exhausting or impossible challenge, especially when we face issues with mood, relationships, betrayal, trauma, health, transitions, addiction, grief and identity/faith crises. Sometimes, we don’t even know why we are struggling so much. If you feel like you are stuck in the past, fearful about the future, or simply overwhelmed, you have come to the right place. You don’t have to live this way! Hope, joy, peace and healthier relationships are potentially just around the corner!

My goal is to work with you in a partnership to create solutions that are specific to your unique needs. I'm a believer that the opposite of depression is not happiness, but resiliency. We can work together to explore your depression, anxiety, or shame which are often the result from a trauma, or series of traumas. I have found that the most effective therapy has an individualized focus and is a collaboration between you and me. The focus will be to help you explore possible alternative ways of thinking and behaving - the building blocks of change.

Why see a Counselor? Reasons include: desire to improve a relationship, inquiry about your sexuality, alternative lifestyle questions, difficult relationship decisions, senior sexual health, a need to change attitudes, sexual orientation or simply wanting to enrich yourself with regards to relationship needs. I believe that our sex journey begins at birth, "is it a boy or a girl?" Our gender, our sex messages both positive and negative, our religion, culture and society all affect our relationship capabilities as well as the limitations.

I currently offer Life Coaching to residents living anywhere and supervised psychotherapy to Texas residents only.
We live in a world plagued by disconnection. Chances are if you have experienced any trauma, you are a pro at disconnecting from your emotions, as well as the lived experience of your body. Trauma survivors are intelligent, complex beings and experts at surviving, even at the expense of connection with themselves. I believe the healing journey isn’t about rehashing your trauma, forcing emotional release, or replaying your emotional responses over and over again. I believe the healing journey is about reconnecting to the truest experience of who you are.

I offer unique counseling that involves a mixture of active listening, coaching and inspiring clients to be the absolute best version of themselves.
Why are so many of us afraid to face challenges? Fear is what holds us hostage in our own minds. The most interesting part about fear is that it does not exist outside of us. We create it. That which we create we can also destroy. I work with a vast array of individuals who have experiences and barriers they want to overcome. I coached adolescents for over a decade and currently work with the elderly. I find satisfaction in working with challenging circumstances. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with kids, adolescents, and adults both young or old. My goal is to awaken potential. It's time for you to lay hold of your destiny.

Coaching Therapists
Life coaching is an increasingly popular profession that has no specific licensing or academic requirements. Though psychologists also often consider themselves life coaches, these therapists don't focus on treating mental illness. Instead, they help individuals realise their goals in work and in life.
