Life is hard and sometimes scary. We all need a safe place to get support and help. I am here to walk alongside you and navigate the uncertainty.
I have a BA in sociology from The Ohio State University and a MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I am an inclusive counselor, an LPC, in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor through the NBCC. I see see adolescents and adults specializing in trauma and addiction.
I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.
I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.
I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in different practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, homeless and correctional services, and addiction. I treat and manage a range of disorders ( depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, addictions, etc).

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Garland
Finding addiction therapists in Garland starts with understanding the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug concerns, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and related stress, anxiety, or relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists may mention motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.
Garland offers a range of therapy options, with local offices and virtual appointments that can make care easier to fit into your schedule. Virtual care can also expand your options if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience or a non-judgmental, harm reduction-informed approach. When comparing therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach to addiction care, what concerns they focus on, and how sessions are typically structured.
Therapy in Garland 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists in Garland who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after you enter your insurance details, and book directly when you find a fit. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose between in-person or virtual care when you’re ready.
