Welcome to Soul Purpose Therapeutic Services. I understand that reaching out for support can be frightening, but I assure you that I am a very open-minded, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth therapist with over eight years of experience and expertise to offer you. I have extensive experience providing quality services in a wide range of areas including depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral issues, relationships, interpersonal dynamics, communication, self-esteem, school/career issues, anger management, stress management, psycho-education, and life skills.

I have more than 25 years working in the counseling profession and have counseled and coached thousands. I am also a Certified Life Coach. There are so many stressors today, but with the proper strategies and techniques you can learn to manage them. I help people discover life purpose, solve frustrations, worry, fear, anxiety, depression, lack of self-confidence, career issues, fulfillment and future goals etc. I work with you and empower you to put the necessary skills and strategies in place that will lead to your better wellbeing. I will listen to understand so that we can create a plan that will get you the results you desire.

I take a whole body approach to health and illness with a focus on how the mind influences the body just as the body influences the mind. Anxiety, depression, and stress can impact health and exacerbate chronic pain, heart disease, insomnia, and other medical problems. However, addressing the emotional aspects of medical conditions can improve quality of life and physical health. Also, psychological principles can help enhance wellness and lead to lasting behavioral changes. As a health psychologist, I can help you emotionally cope with medical conditions, make healthy lifestyle choices, and learn skills to move forward with your life.

Life allows us to experience fulfillment, happiness, and security, but as all of us know we also encounter disappointments, losses, and setbacks. Sometimes we can easily navigate through life’s challenges, but other times we find ourselves at a crossroad face with confusion and overwhelming emotions and not knowing which direction to take. If you find yourself in such place, please know that you are not alone and that there is help in your time of uncertainty. Personally and professionally I have witnessed how genuine care and a non-judgmental approach can initiate personal insight and healing.

Are you struggling with loneliness, apathy, or a lack of motivation? Have you encountered recent life changes or are you lacking meaning in daily life? I will provide a safe space with unconditional positive regard, compassion and patience so that we can begin a collaborative journey towards improving your quality of living and you feeling more fulfilled in all the roles you play.

I believe in the human capacity for resilience & work collaboratively with clients on successfully living with and growing from the effects of stress, illness, loss, & trauma. You have the right to enjoy a more satisfying life of creativity & fulfillment, embodying the amazing human you were created to be. Grief is inevitable. Sometimes we don't know how to feel or be with emotions so we 'stuff' them in maladaptive ways.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide individual therapy using Cognitive Therapy. I am certified in the use of Cognitive Processing therapy for PTSD/trauma related issues. In addition to individual therapy, I can provide family and couples therapy. I have been working as a counselor for 12 years. I have worked for the state and federal government. I work to help clients clear some of the clutter and remove some baggage to help get them back on the road to mental health.

I have always had a heart to help others. I have had the opportunity to provide counseling services, mentoring, and life coaching in the community, private, and educational sector. Providing counseling and mentoring to families to improve families’ dynamics in the form of family, couples, individual, and group counseling has been my passion for many years.

I graduated with a BA in Psychology and an MEd in Counseling from the University of Houston. I practice from a client-centered approach, but I like to integrate techniques from many different approaches. I feel like clients come to therapy to feel understood, listened to, and form a connection with another person. I also understand that people have strengths and can be empowered to make their own decisions for themselves.
