Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lufkin, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 9 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult transitions. My practice specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma, with a deep focus on the unique cultural and emotional challenges of immigrant life. I am dedicated to helping clients resolve relational issues and heal from past wounds, providing a compassionate and expert-led path toward emotional resilience and a more fulfilling life.

Life= struggle. Its true, or it wouldn't be life. Why not have a helping hand to get through it. Consider your therapist as a hammer, helping you build whatever it is your building. It helps you get to the goal, the finishing project, but it's not useful without you using it, and applying the effort towards what you're trying to build.

I'm traditionally a CBT psychotherapist who also utilizes other forms of techniques and therapies as they pertain to the client's needs to achieve a successful treatment.

I have a Masters of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of St. Thomas, a private Catholic University located in Houston, Texas.

A good therapist is someone who is your cheerleader, but also provides the hard truths. Allow me to be that support in your life, to help, heal, empower and move forward in positive directions.

I have worked in diverse settings working with countless categories of focus. Primarily, I specialize in working with adult individuals, family and couples in addition to resolving depression, anxiety, PTSD, adjustment disorders, stress management, and identity development to name a few.

Since life has not given us the instruction manual, I am here to support you with an approach as individualized as you are. I have over three years of experience in clinical in-patient and outpatient settings as a social worker working with children, teens, and adults; a year of experience serving as an adjunct instructor at a university; and seventeen years working with the military community.

I graduated in 2019, got fully licensed in 2022 and have been working in private practice since. I thrive when working with people who feel stuck, uncertain, and frozen in life. I am a person-center therapist who will tailor your treatment according to your needs.

My approach to therapy involves an interactive and collaborative style towards self discovery. I prefer to join in with my clients to achieve therapeutic goals that enhance their quality of life. I believe a therapy relationship is designed to facilitate the desired change or seeks to direct these efforts as appropriate for the client and counselor.

I am genuine, compassionate, and dedicated to meeting you where you are on your journey. I believe in creating a safe, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I honor your unique experiences and am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and encouragement. My approach is collaborative and personalized, drawing on my expertise and lived experience as a Black female clinician and veteran. I am here to support you, advocate for you, and help you discover your strengths as we work together toward your goals.
