Great to meet you!

I graduated from Hardin-Simmons University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology before getting my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Southern Methodist University. I then went on to become a Certified Holistic Sex Therapist. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), and I’ve been in private practice in Frisco, TX since 2007. As a Supervisor, I get to help train new interns to become seasoned counselors.

My approach to therapy

I work with people on sexual dysfunction, kink/fetishes, consensual non-monogamy, desire discrepancies, sexual trauma, relationship problems, gender identity issues, and infidelity recovery. I help clients see that change may be scary or difficult but is possible. With over a decade of experience in private practice alone, I bring insight with no judgment and complete honesty. All I want to do is help you achieve your goals so you can live a happier, more satisfied life.

What you can expect from me

As a counselor, I try to see the world through your eyes, to understand how you think of yourself, your partner, and the world around you. I will never suggest something I wouldn't do myself, and I try to stay mindful of treating you the way I would want to be treated. I don't take your trust lightly. I'll walk with you through hard conversations, and we'll share a laugh or two along the way. Together, we will find a way out of the problems that hold you back from a genuinely pleasurable life.
