Biography

A daughter, Veteran, mother, and wife who achieved a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from University of Houston-Downtown in 2005. I went on to receive a Master's of Education from Texas Southern University with a focus in Counseling in 2007. I am Board Certified by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. At POWCS, I make it my mission to provide what I really desired in a therapist but never received as a soldier, empathy, compassion and non-judgment.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Our focus is to help individuals heal, overcome and become aware of the inner strengths which they possess. We achieve this by providing a safe environment where your voice is heard and a plan is tailored to your specific need. We operate from a Client Centered perspective which allows the client to play a pivotal role in their process.

What you can expect from our first session

We promise to treat you with respect and courtesy every step of this journey and to be with you as needed. You are not a number, a co-pay or a payment to us, you are a special individual and you will be treated as such. Our hope is that you leave differently than you came.
