I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly 30 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of mental health needs. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Mississippi College, graduating with Special Distinction. My background includes on‐site work in psychiatric hospitals providing diagnostic assessments and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, as well as extensive outpatient experience addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, substance use, trauma, adjustment disorders, and crisis intervention.
My clinical work also includes serving as a crisis counselor with the American Red Cross in Dallas during Hurricane Katrina, supporting displaced individuals and families through acute stress, grief, and major life disruption. In addition to my direct clinical roles, I spent nearly 25 years in managed care conducting nationwide clinical reviews for psychiatric and substance‐use facilities, strengthening my ability to assess complex cases, understand treatment systems, and advocate for appropriate levels of care.
While I have experience providing marital and family therapy, my primary focus is working with individuals who are seeking clarity, stability, emotional healing, and long‐term growth. I currently offer outpatient therapy and facilitate recovery‐focused groups in the Plano area, providing virtual care to clients throughout Texas.
My therapeutic approach integrates person‐centered interventions, motivational interviewing, reality‐based strategies, and—when desired—Christ‐centered counseling. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and belief systems, offering faith‐integrated care only when it aligns with the client’s preferences. My goal is to provide a supportive, grounded, and collaborative space where individuals can heal, grow, and build lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.
I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.
I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.
Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
For me, I aim to help others transform their lives through compassionate, personalized care (with plenty of humor along the way). I specialize in working with people of color, student-athletes, and those who are neurodivergent. If you’re neurodivergent and reading this, you’ve finally found someone who specializes in and deeply understands your unique perspective. Whether seeking clarity on behaviors, understanding how you interpret the world, or navigating challenges, I am here to help.
