Reaching out for help when you need it can be hard. There are times when life's challenges and transitions can be overwhelming and all consuming. Finding a mental health professional, you can trust, may seem a bit daunting but help is available.

If you’ve ever felt numb, disconnected, or so overwhelmed by emotion that you act out impulsively, you are not alone. You might feel like you don’t know yourself anymore, or like you never knew yourself. You might feel like you’re losing control or feel hopeless about finding happiness, contentment, or safety. Trauma or other intense life stressors can cause problems for mental well-being in all parts of life. I completed my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at UNT Dallas and have completed EMDR training. I have experience and training with trauma, abuse, addiction, dissociation, ADHD, and related issues.

I provide counseling for neurodivergent and atypical adolescents and adults. I am a certified ADHD provider. I don’t believe in one size fits all. I’m an open-minded and compassionate therapist ready to start where you are. As an ally, I am there to support the client so that they can learn strong coping skills. My work is trauma-informed. Anything from anxiety, depression, trauma or discomfort due to life transitions and difficult relationships will be a focus, and we can uncover what needs to be addressed with greater understanding so that we can face things head on with the tools you will learn.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from The King’s University in 2021. Prior to my counseling career, I was a high school science teacher for 16 years. During that time, I gained experience in working with adolescents, teens, and their families. I have also worked in an in-patient drug treatment facility. I helped families facing the complex traumas caused by addiction and helped build the communication skills necessary to achieve long-term positive change.

Being a mental health professional has been a lifelong passion. I enjoy the therapeutic process and watching my clients sense of empowerment unfold so that they can achieve their desired goals. My non-directive approach allows me to meet my clients where they are and grow in the directions they want to grow with the gentle guidance that the therapeutic relationship provides. I have experience working with adults and adolescents, couples therapy as well as anger management, grief and loss, and abuse survivors.

I serve adolescents and adults of all ages in my teletherapy practice. My clients typically have a wide range of symptoms including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I focus on assisting my clients with learning new skills to utilize in their everyday lives.
