Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Denison, TX

Hello and welcome! From personal experience, I know firsthand how much the right support can bring positive change. I have over 2 decades of experience in education and guidance counseling ranging from early childhood to secondary. As an LPC, I'm experienced in providing therapeutic methods that are successfully responsive to trauma, grief, and conflict resolution in coparenting matters. I have been trained by various renowned experts in the mental health field to provide EMDR, collaborative practices, trauma and grief services. I am here for you!

I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from Sam Houston State University in 2015, following a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Houston in 2003. My clinical specialty is working with young adults, adolescents, and families, with over five years of direct clinical experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring more than a decade of experience as a counselor educator at the university level. I also have over 20 years of experience in public education, including 13 years as a certified secondary school counselor. This diverse background allows me to support clients with a deep understanding of both academic and developmental challenges across the lifespan.

Together, we’ll navigate the highs and lows in a space that’s safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I believe healing and growth happen when you feel truly heard and understood. Just as pearls are shaped through pressure, our own resilience and beauty often emerge from life’s most difficult moments and I’m honored to walk beside you on that transformative journey.

I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted by anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life transitions. Many of the clients I support struggle with boundaries, relationship patterns, shame, or fear of repeating past experiences, even when they’re highly insightful and self-aware.

With over 33 years of experience, I help men and women navigate life’s toughest challenges—depression and trauma, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with men, women, first responders, and missionaries, and I bring a faith-sensitive, solution-focused approach. After graduate studies, I completed a two-year internship at the Christian Family Institute in marriage and family therapy, and I am a Certified Self-Leadership and Executive Coach. My goal is for you to feel deeply understood and leave each session with real clarity and momentum.
