My work as a forensic interviewer for children who experienced abuse and neglect strengthened my ability to sit with difficult stories and provide safe, trauma-informed care.

I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

I attended Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene Texas and received my Master's in Family Psychology. After many years of work in a non profit adoption agency and in several psychiatric hospitals, I found my passion lies in working with individuals that want to explore their past to inform their current functioning. Although the hot "it" therapies offer quick fixes, I believe you must first understand yourself before you can understand the root of your issues.

You've probably gotten good at holding it together for everyone else, even when things feel heavier than you're letting on. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and the kind of stress that builds up quietly over time. I offer sessions in English and Spanish, so you can show up exactly as you are, in whichever language feels most like home. I'm not here to tell you how to live your life. I'm here to help you feel heard, make sense of what you're carrying, and feel less alone in it.
