Great to meet you!

I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas, and I work with young, middle-aged, and older adults who are struggling with anxiety and depression. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 30 years as a Texas public school educator, with my last three years as a high school counselor, so I understand stress, life transitions, and how anxiety and depression can build over time.

My approach to therapy

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) because it helps you notice and work through the negative thoughts that are fueling your anxiety and depression, so you can feel steadier and more in control.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll simply talk and start getting to know each other. Once you feel more comfortable, we’ll begin exploring what brought you to counseling and what you’d like life to look like instead. My goal is to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where you feel safe, heard, and supported as we work together.
