Hello!

I became a psychotherapist because I have always had the desire to help people. At a very early age, I knew I wanted to make my mark on this world by helping people reach their full potential. I realized therapy was my path after marrying and subsequently divorcing and becoming a single mother all in my early 20’s. This relationship left me with many scars that it took years to heal from, including low self-esteem, worthlessness, fear, trust issues; you name it . . . I experienced it. I knew that if I could overcome these issues, it is only right that I pay it forward and assist others on their healing journey.

 

My goal and hope in working together are two-fold. In the short term, I'd like to help you improve your mood, instill hope, and to ease any symptoms you may be experiencing related to depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, and so forth. In the longer term, I hope that together we can develop coping skills that would help you face any new issues that may arise in the future. I understand that this process may be difficult for you. You have done the first (and most important) step of reaching out for help. Together we will keep taking one step at a time, at a pace that you feel comfortable with.

​

Today, I hold the credential of Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Texas, Missouri, and Colorado. I completed my Master’s degree in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University. I have over 15 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric facilities, correctional facilities, and private practice.

​

When I am not seeing clients, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters who are 16 and 3 years old, and my two fur babies, Chloe and Bella!

My Framework 

​

I focus on adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psycho-Educational Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Reality Therapy. My theoretical approach is based on the belief that you are the expert of your own life and is fully in charge of the counseling experience. By working together, you will learn the aspects of your life that you can control and what you cannot. My counseling style combines empathy with a solution-based approach. I believe this combination can be very useful in dealing with the curveballs that life may throw your way. Learn more about my experience, education, and training by viewing my resume!
