I work with individuals and couples with a variety of concerns such as: Anxiety, Stress, Conflict, Body Image Concerns, Eating Disorders, Depression, Grief, Anger, Life Transition, Trauma/Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Relationship Concerns, Marriage Counseling, Parenting Issues, Career Exploration.
Are you struggling in life? Does anxiety keep you awake at night? Do you feel sad and blue? Is your relationship in trouble? Do you spend too much time worrying about your looks? If you are struggling in life with these issues, you are not alone. Life can be difficult and many people have felt the way you do. Individuals often feel that something needs to be seriously wrong with them in order to seek therapy. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is often helpful to have an objective, nonjudgmental person to help you through life's challenges.

I have experience in working with a wide variety of issues including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationship issues, Grief, Stress, Parenting issues, and adjustment issues.
I regard counseling as an opportunity for both the counselor and client to grow in trust and walk towards a goal together. Both the client and counselor have goals that value self-improvement and that is a journey best done with someone else. Counseling is a chance to define and refine values and work towards expressing those values in a constructive and functioning way.

As an LPC in Texas, I enjoy working with folks going through difficult life transitions – new job, baby, partner, living arrangements, loss, you name it! My supportive, collaborative, and eclectic approach to counseling can help uncover the tools and resources that will allow you to move through anxiety, depression or whatever is keeping you feeling stuck.
You're an adult who's doing it all while feeling disconnected and unsure of what you really want. You feel confused by your dissatisfaction with your primary relationships or your career - because you have a great family, good job, good supports, etc. And, no one really wants to hear about it, often calling you ridiculous instead. You probably find yourself wondering, "What's wrong with me?" or "Why can't I get this right?" If you're looking for unbiased support from someone outside your family and community, I'm here to tell you you're not ridiculous AND I want to hear all about it!

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
