Grief counselors and therapists in Denison, TX

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, struggling to manage anger, or finding it hard to maintain healthy relationships? You may feel out of control in certain moments, stuck in patterns that keep repeating, or impacted by past trauma that still affects your daily life. I work with adults across Texas who are navigating PTSD, stress, anger or impulse challenges, and relationship or family conflict. Together, we create a space where you can better understand your reactions, regain control, and start building healthier patterns.

I take pleasure in being down-home friendly and plainspoken. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I happen to be a disabled veteran and a Bible-believing Christian. While my faith in Christ and my family are the central part of my life, I don't push it on others, but my faith definitely helps me treat others with care, compassion, respect and without judgment.. I enjoy working with people from various backgrounds and cultures.

My potential client should know that I let you be in the drivers seat of what you want to grow, change, add, or need support in. I am here to listen and provide safe space in sharing your story. We will work together in finding what is needed to improve your life.

I believe healing and growth happen best when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared for. I love working with children, teens, and families, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

For children, I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows them to express feelings, work through challenges, and build confidence through the natural language of play. Often, children communicate much more through play than they can with words, and I enjoy helping them feel understood and supported in ways that fit their developmental needs.

My story is a bit unique as to how I became a psychotherapist. I studied abroad in Costa Rica during college where I learned the Spanish language and where my love of adventure and exploration began. After moving to Los Angeles for several years, I decided to then move to New York City to pursue a career in music which is my first love. I was living in NYC and working for Sony Music on September 11, 2001 which changed my life dramatically. I decided to return to The University of Texas in Austin and obtained my Masters in Social Work in an effort to pursue a career in helping others which is my second love.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Relational Model as I believe that relationships, both with ourselves and others, are what allow us each to feel fulfilled, secure, and empowered. My hope is that we can work together as a team to unlock your inner strengths so that you can confidently manage life's stressors in the past, present, and future.

I love working with adolescents and I have a warm, non-judgmental, humorous, but direct approach that seems to fit well with teenagers. I have worked for many years in community mental health and as such have been successful with almost every diagnosis that exists, all age groups, and all genders. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Change can occur but I want to empower you to accept what you cannot change and come up with an effective plan to change what you can!
