Great to meet you!

I have been practicing in the field of mental health for over 20 years. I have a Masters degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from University of North Texas. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I serve clients age 18 and up addressing issues related to trauma, substance use, stress management, family issues, and other mental health issues. I have extensive experience in working with LGBTQi population. Clients will be seen virtually.

My approach to therapy

I work to create a safe space for individuals to be themselves with no judgment. I hope to empower clients to trust in themselves and work through issues to assist them with that empowerment.

What you can expect from me

Clients will leave sessions with a sense of hope and empowerment as they learn skills to address their needs in a nonjudgmental safe space.
