Grief counselors and therapists in Lufkin, TX

As someone who has been a school counselor I realize that a child's mental health is often times directly correlated to their parents mental health. For that reason I love serving children and or adults that struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I also have a huge heart for those who are in need of pregnancy related counseling. Those dealing with loss, infertility, or postpartum depression are a population that is underserved and in need of mental health assistance.

As your therapist, I bring several years of experience supporting individuals and families through crisis, healing, and transformation. My background spans emergency departments, inpatient care, child welfare, hospice, and community mental health—each setting has shaped my trauma-informed, solution-focused, and client-centered approach.

Clients should know that I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with specialized training and experience working with trauma, depression, and anxiety.

I believe in a person-centered approach, meaning therapy is tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Whether you are facing overwhelming emotions, seeking new coping tools, or exploring personal growth, I walk alongside you with empathy and respect to support your journey toward healing and well-being.

My goal is to empower you with practical strategies and insights while fostering self-compassion and resilience. Together, we will create a collaborative, supportive partnership that honors your experience and helps you move forward with renewed hope.

Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
