Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Tyler, TX

Do you ever feel stuck in your relationships or find yourself repeating patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward? You may understand what you want to change but still find yourself responding in familiar ways. I believe these patterns often make sense when we take time to understand where they come from.

My work is grounded in attachment and relational approaches. I enjoy helping clients explore how past experiences, relationships, and beliefs about themselves influence the way they connect with others. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, stronger boundaries, healthier communication, and more meaningful relationships.

I bring Master’s degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Special Education, along with over 10 years of experience in trauma and addiction counseling. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, identity, and life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, and I draw from attachment-based, psychodynamic, strengths-based, mindfulness, somatic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches.

As a biracial therapist with African American and Norwegian heritage, I value the ways culture, identity, and lived experiences shape our relationships and sense of self. I strive to create a space where you can feel seen, understood, and accepted as you are. I also offer therapy in both English and Norwegian.

I have my LPC-Licensed Professional Counselor and LMFT-Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor licenses. I have my Juris Doctorate and I am an expert in family law. My approach is collaborative, practical, and I make sure the client has something they can use to help themselves by the end of every session. I work with all types of clients, but mostly with adults, individually and as couples.
