Are You Ready to Create the Life You Want?
Life can be full of transitions and challenges that leave us feeling stuck or unbalanced. Whether you’re navigating a new chapter, managing overwhelming emotions, or striving for a deeper sense of purpose, I’m here to help you create the life you want—one that feels balanced, fulfilling, and authentically yours.
A Unique Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy should be as practical as it is restorative. My approach combines evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the warmth and empathy of Person-Centered Therapy. Together, we’ll work to identify the thought patterns holding you back, uncover your strengths, and build tools to help you move forward with confidence.
One of my favorite moments in therapy is seeing clients realize they already have the seeds of change within them—we just need to nurture them. Whether it’s helping someone rediscover themselves after becoming an empty nester, supporting a young adult through life’s uncertainties, or guiding a client in creating meaningful balance in their busy world, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
Professional Expertise You Can Trust
My journey as a therapist began with a passion for serving others, a value instilled in me by my family. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of North Texas in 1991 and completed my counseling degree at Prairie View A&M University in 1996. To deepen my expertise, I obtained my LPC credentials at Lamar University in 2017.
With decades of experience, I specialize in helping adults and families manage life transitions, reduce stress and anxiety, and reconnect with their goals and values.
A Bit About Me
Growing up, I was surrounded by people who made service a way of life, and I’ve carried that into my work as a therapist. Outside of the office, I love creating balance in my personal life—whether it’s through DIY home projects, exploring new recipes, or planning my next cruise adventure. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, sharing great meals, and finding joy in the small moments that make life meaningful.
Just like I love turning a vision into reality through home projects, I find joy in helping clients create their own transformations. Therapy, much like life, is about progress, not perfection—and I’m here to help you along the way.
