Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Victoria, TX

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.

Counseling is my second career and a profession I genuinely love. My life experiences have shaped who I am as a therapist, allowing me to meet each client’s story with compassion, empathy, and respect. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

I am deeply committed to helping clients navigate life’s challenges, heal from painful experiences, and build a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, I will work alongside you with curiosity, authenticity, and care.

Family Psychiatric nurse practitioner for two years and see all types of patients.

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.

In 2019, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, and in 2022, I obtained my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. Both were from Texas A&M International University. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas. I am also a Substance Abuse Professional and an Internationally Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. In my approach in therapy, I work collaboratively with my clients to evaluate your unique needs and provide an evidence-based approach so as to reach your treatment goals. I firmly believe that every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and self-discovery and I will walk alongside you in this journey towards creating a meaningful life.
