I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with 20 years of therapy experience. I am a EMDR certified therapist (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am also trained in: IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), CRM (Comprehensive Resource Model for complex trauma), and experiential therapy. My specialties include: complex trauma/dissociative disorders, substance use and compulsive behaviors, chronic pain, relationships, and mood/anxiety disorders. I supervise LPC Associates who are working toward licensure and provide consultation for other clinicians. I love working with therapists and empowering them to receive the healing they so readily provide for others. My greatest ability is in connecting with my clients and creating a safe relationship to enable them to experience deep healing and become the best versions of themselves. I collaboratively work with my clients to establish a plan to accomplish their goals and include humor along the way. I am a spiritual person and love to incorporate this into the therapeutic process if this is important to my clients. I aim to address the whole person (cognitive, physical, spiritual, social) as each piece contributes to overall quality of life. I am BIPOC, Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA, disability affirming and fat positive. Additionally, I have done speaking events and provided continuing education for the State TAAP Conference and Houston TAAP Confernce. Currently, I am seeing clients through telehealth only (no in person sessions).

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I graduated from Walla Walla University in Washington state, with a master’s degree in Social Work. I frequently employ a cognitive-behavioral approach, EMDR, hypnosis, and IFS in therapy.
My goal is to help clients achieve peace and contentment by increasing self-awareness and recognizing behaviors that no longer serve them. I make it my aim to partner with clients on their journey, identify their strengths, help distinguish areas for growth, and provide clients with non-judgmental support along the way. I believe that strong and fulfilling relationships with other individuals can help people maintain emotional well-being. I have 20+ years of experience in mental health, including individual, marriage, group counseling, crisis intervention, and substance use assessments.
I look forward to meeting with you and, through the therapy process, identifying and unlocking some problem solving abilities that you weren't aware of, or have been dormant for some time. I truly believe that we all have our answers inside of us, our own personal journey is a process of uncovering those skills and understandings.
