Therapy Session in Texas

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with young adults navigating the messy, high-stakes transition into adulthood. My primary approach is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I integrate with CBT, existential therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help clients build real skills while also making sense of the bigger picture of their lives. I’ve worked across a wide range of settings — state agencies, college campuses, and private practice — and with clients facing everything from mood and personality disorders to psychotic disorders, neurodivergence, trauma, and major life transitions. I bring both clinical depth and a solution-oriented style. I’m warm and direct: I’ll sit with you in the hard stuff, but I’m also going to push you toward meaningful change. Whether you’re dealing with emotional dysregulation, identity questions, relationship chaos, or just trying to figure out who you are and what you want, I help clients build the tools to not just survive this chapter — but actually own it.

I am a therapist who got my start in a Marriage and family counseling practice after graduating with a MABC from Dallas Theological Seminary. I have had extensive experience working within the criminal justice system, women coming out of the sex industry and severe mental health issues including personality disorders, major depression, bipolar I & II, dissociation and severe trauma. I have trained local police departments in mental health orientations and critical incident trainings. I am also a certified resiliency trainer through the FBINAA. I enjoy utilizing psychodynamic and family of origin techniques as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy when I work with families and children. I enjoy serving persons from different cultures. I consider my counseling of you an honor and a privilege and it is my heartfelt desire that you feel better after our session than you do before you see me. My objective is to "reveal the root, and expose the lies" especially behind those issues that trouble teens. I look forward to working with you on your journey to health and wholeness.
