Therapeutic interventions will include adjusting thought/behavior patterns (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to intensify their strengths to overcome crisis. I have successfully worked with the clients who struggled with behavior issues, parenting issues, substance abuse, addiction, PTSD, and trauma-related issues.

Now offering supervision for Associates in Texas. In the midst of difficult times and challenges, we find opportunity. I believe that the moments we are pushed out of our comfort zone allow for personal growth and healing.

I find that this creates a unique counseling experience for each client and provides a collaborative environment to explore.

I believe counseling is beneficial for individuals of all ages who are looking for support in reaching personal goals. I work to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment to help clients feel safe enough to engage in self-exploration of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to achieve change. I strive to understand each person’s unique story in order to help facilitate happiness and feelings of success.

I firmly believe that therapy is not a "quick fix," Creating a lasting change involves a deeper exploration of issues and a commitment to work on self.
