Therapy Session in Texas

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate in Texas who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults. I often use play and sandtray-informed therapy for children and DBT and other evidence-based treatments for teens and adults. I use a non-judgmental approach to help clients learn coping skills and navigate anxiety, anger, and depression. My goal is to help clients feel safe and develop a stronger sense of self-worth and fulfillment.

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.

I am a compassionate mental health counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling and a doctoral candidate pursuing a PsyD in Clinical Psychology. I help children, adolescents, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and life transitions. I value collaborating with parents and caregivers to create a supportive, team-based approach. I believe healing, growth, and hope are possible, even during life's most difficult seasons.
