I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Personality Disorders and utilize Solution-Focused, EMDR, Sand Tray, and Play Therapy. My husband and I own Morningsong Therapy in Wharton, Texas, and I am the Director of Counseling and Disability Services at our local junior college.

My approach to therapy

I have been in education for twenty-seven years. My approach to therapy includes but is not limited to providing the client with the tools needed to feel empowered on their journey. I do not only use one type of counseling theory. I use the best interventions and resources from a variety of therapy sources. My philosophy of counseling is working with the client to create goals and an agenda for our sessions together.

What you can expect from me

First, I want to let you know that you are making a very mature decision to seek counseling for yourself. I am an affirming therapist. The goal is for you to feel motivated, accepted, and heard.
