As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with eight years of experience, I am dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate their path toward recovery and growth. I specialize in trauma treatment and work with clients of all ages - children, teens, and adults. I have a particular passion for supporting survivors of abuse and trauma. Using evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Play Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I tailor every treatment plan to meet your unique needs. For those who desire it, I am also open to thoughtfully integrating spirituality into the therapeutic process.
I'm a compassionate mental health provider who believes healing is possible for everyone. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and substance use and addiction. My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life — and my role is to walk alongside you with evidence-based tools and unwavering support. I bring warmth and authenticity to every session, creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Whatever you're carrying, I'm here to help.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. My work is grounded in attachment-based and humanistic approaches, meaning I focus on understanding your relationships, emotional experiences, and inner strengths. I believe healing happens through genuine connection and collaboration, not through labels and judgement. Together we work at your pace to build insight, resilience, and lasting change.
You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.
I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.
I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.
Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.
If you're a man who wants to understand himself better and actually change the patterns keeping you stuck — not just talk about them — that's the work I do. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than five years of clinical experience supporting men through depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, and addiction. While newly licensed in Texas, I bring substantial hands-on experience across private practices, clinics, and school-based settings. I believe therapy should give you more than insight: it should give you tools you can actually use.
Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.
Life can feel overwhelming when stress, difficult experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to function the way you want to. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, parenting concerns, or the impact of past experiences, you don't have to face it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for support, healing, and practical tools to create meaningful change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after years of trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming environment where you feel understood and empowered. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and a more balanced life.
I’ve spent over 22 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, helping people just like you navigate life’s biggest challenges. I'm licensed in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Nevada.
My personal belief is therapy is a space for growth, discovery, and healing. It’s a brave step, and I’m here to guide you.
Maybe you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe you're working through a difficult loss or a past trauma. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to find a path that feels right for you.
You will set the pace and the agenda of our sessions. One week we may work on day to day obstacles. The next week, we may work on past issues and traumas. It's YOUR TIME!

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Arlington
Finding addiction therapists in Arlington starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
Arlington offers a range of mental health care options, with access to nearby communities across the Dallas-Fort Worth area and virtual appointments that can expand your choices. Recovery can change over time, so it helps to find a therapist who uses a respectful, non-judgmental approach and has experience with harm reduction or substance use care. You may also want to compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their style, specialties, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review their profiles, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can browse therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
