Hello and Welcome!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Tarleton State University. I have experience working with clients experiencing trauma, developmental trauma, high stress, and domestic violence. I enjoy helping clients reduce stress and heal to experience greater health, joy, and well-being.

I help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or weighed down by the past find steadier ground and feel more at peace in their lives. I know reaching out for therapy can feel hard, and I’m glad you’re here. Whether you’re facing a major life change, carrying old pain, or feeling stretched thin by everyday stress, you don’t have to sort through it alone. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re feeling and figure out what you need to feel more hopeful, grounded, and in control.

With over 33 years of experience, I help men and women navigate life’s toughest challenges—depression and trauma, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with men, women, first responders, and missionaries, and I bring a faith-sensitive, solution-focused approach. After graduate studies, I completed a two-year internship at the Christian Family Institute in marriage and family therapy, and I am a Certified Self-Leadership and Executive Coach. My goal is for you to feel deeply understood and leave each session with real clarity and momentum.

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.

With more than 20 years of experience, I've had the opportunity to support individuals and families through many different seasons of life. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling to find balance, or simply ready for something in your life to change, my goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood.

As a mother of four, I also understand firsthand how demanding different stages of parenting and family life can be. My experience has strengthened my passion for supporting parents, women, young adults, and teens as they navigate life's challenges. Together, we'll build on your strengths, improve communication and coping skills, and develop practical strategies that can help you feel more confident and equipped moving forward.
