I believe with a little help, you can be your own change. If you've been struggling with addiction, trauma, or the weight of navigating life after contact with the justice system, I've spent more than 25 years working at exactly that intersection. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas with deep experience in the criminal justice, mental health, and substance use fields. Before private practice, I spent decades working directly with people the system had often already written off. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and co-occurring conditions.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, or a major life transition. You may find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, weighed down by self-doubt, shame, guilt, anger, loneliness, or stress that feels difficult to manage on your own.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help clients navigate these challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence. Whether you're coping with work stress, family conflict, relationship difficulties, or significant life changes, therapy can provide a space to better understand what you're experiencing and develop practical tools for moving forward or making change.
