Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Tyler, TX

I pride myself in being able to give women a male with whom they can trust and feel safe, provide men a listening ear devoid of judgment and offer adolescents a voice that speaks their language in a way that makes new concepts easily digestible.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor based in Tyler, Texas, and founder of Magnolia Counseling & Supervision, PLLC. With over 15 years of experience in trauma-informed care, addiction recovery, and community mental health, I offer a safe, supportive space for individuals working through life’s most difficult seasons.

My approach to therapy is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I meet clients where they are—with respect, honesty, and compassion. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, burnout, or a life transition, I help you move forward with clarity and resilience.

Service has been a constant in my life. I have served in the United States Marine Corps, worked in law enforcement, taught in the classroom, and now serve as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Each chapter shaped how I understand stress, trauma, responsibility, and personal transformation.

My work is grounded in both lived experience and clinical training. I know what it means to operate under pressure. I understand how trauma embeds itself in the body and how identity can fracture under prolonged stress. I also know that change is possible when insight is paired with disciplined, intentional work.

Clients often describe me as direct, steady, and grounded. I don’t believe in surface-level coping alone. I believe in helping you understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and build internal strength that carries beyond the therapy room.

Whether you are navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, or a major life transition, our work together is focused on clarity, resilience, and sustainable change.
