I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Texas under the supervision of Heidi Johanson, MS, LPC-S. I graduated with my M.Ed in Counseling and Development from Lamar University. Each person brings a unique perspective and set of experiences, which is why I prioritize creating a supportive, empathetic environment where clients feel heard and understood. My approach is rooted in genuine acceptance and collaboration, working together to help you discover your strengths and equip you with the tools to navigate life’s challenges.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, phobias, life adjustment stressors, and trauma. I use a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities including Play Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and activity therapy to help manage symptoms, build self-esteem, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)trained, and foster healing and growth to meet the individual needs of each client. 

I aim to guide my clients in developing effective coping skills, improving communication, building positive relationships, and recognizing their inner strengths. I am a former teacher of 15+ years in the public school system. I am Generalist Pre K-6th, Math Supplemental 6-8th, ESL, GT and SPED Certified Kindergarten-12th grade in Texas. I am also a Texas Licensed School Counselor. I specialize in educational consultation and school behavior modifications. I can also assist in forming a strong alliance with the school system.
