Do you feel stuck and can't figure out how to get unstuck? Are you having trouble with relationships? Is your anxiety keeping you from living life to the fullest? Seeking help is the first step toward improving your mental health.

I earned a Masters degree in 2005 and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I specialize in anxiety disorders including PTSD especially from childhood experiences as well as social anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy.

I believe it is important to explore my clients' childhood experiences to see how their current problems may have originated. I also use educational tools to help clients understand their problems and learn how to improve their lives.

In a first session, I try to accomplish 3 things - establish rapport, take a general history, and get a good idea of the current situation, symptoms, and goals for the future.
