Have you ever struggled to be your true self? Are there times when you don't feel seen or heard? Do you feel unfulfilled or like something is missing and you’re searching for _____? Perhaps you experience high expectations, doubt, perfectionism, unhealthy thinking patterns, and feel like your best isn’t good enough? So, you find yourself saying you’ll handle it later, it's not that bad, or your concerns will pass– yet the issue never disappears, and you’re left feeling like you're not enough, overwhelmed, out of control, stuck, frustrated, and alone. It may feel difficult to ask for help or you might fear being judged or rejected.

Welcome to the first and most courageous step of therapy - looking for help and support. I consider myself a compass helping adolescents, adults, families and parents by guiding them in the direction of health and well-being. People are already whole and complete. Sometimes life experiences, circumstances, illness and relationships can impose clouded judgment, maladaptive behavior, poor self esteem and obstacles from achieving what we truly desire and deserve. My approach is educative, supportive, trusting, safe, evidenced based and healing. Most importantly, I customize treatment plans unique to each client and at their pace..

You've tried all the apps, read the self-help books, read all the blogs, articles and podcasts to try and get through it. Yet, you're still feeling stuck, stressed, anxious, worried, isolated, frustrated, irritable, unmotivated, and struggling to find balance again. Sound familiar? We see you, and we are here to help. Over 10 years of experience working with adults, young adults, and new moms helping them improve their ability to manage life stressors & increase their self-esteem, while learning to set healthy emotional boundaries with others.

Through the process of traditional therapy and/or the making and creating of artwork individuals are encouraged to explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behaviors, develop social skills/communications, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, promote relaxation and increase self-esteem. I believe that you will find in working together a sense of support, encouragement, challenge and empowerment which promotes and fosters personal growth, an assistance in healing your mind and body, and an enhanced quality of life. I invite you to join me in creative discoveries of self!

I believe in providing a safe and empathetic space for clients, cultivating resilience, and building rapport with the client. With a background in art therapy techniques and the evidence-based modalities of a client-centered and solution-focused (SFBT) approach, my therapeutic process highlights the client as an equal, and includes a prioritization of healing, compassion, and active listening.

I'm the kind of therapist who is ready to be there with you through your mental health journey, whether we are processing through trauma, dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, or trying to find common ground in couples' counseling sessions. If you are wanting to feel more connected to others, more authentically yourself, and walking more closely with God than before, contact me. I've counseled families, couples, and individuals dealing with ADHD, anger, sexual abuse, divorce, self-esteem issues, co-parenting, and more. Call me today!

I am truly passionate about helping adolescents, adults, couples and families! I enjoy the challenge of working with a varied range of clients to help attend to their needs. Meeting people where they are emotionally and aiding them to feel more confident to address concerns and eventually optimize their lives is always my goal. I truly yearn to work myself out of a job with every client(s). Being part of a family's or individual's success and journey is the most rewarding part of my job!

“When you’re not used to being confident, confidence can feel like arrogance. When you’re used to being passive, assertiveness feels like aggression. When you’re not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself feels selfish. Your comfort zone is not a good benchmark.” - Dr. Vassilia

Each person has the ability to experience growth and change during the counseling process. My focus is from a Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. I frequently integrate traditional talk therapy with creative modalities like expressive arts, play therapy, sand tray therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy; which helps in creating an authentic, therapeutic space. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I earned a B.A. in Applied Behavioral Sciences from Ashford University and a M.A. in Professional Counseling, from Liberty University.
