For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to help people. Solve all of the world’s problems. Heal all of the world’s hurts. Unfortunately, I had to realize that this was a massive job for one person. However, as I got older, I also realized that I could help ease the pain, one person at a time. Allow me to do that for you. Life can often become a rollercoaster ride, tossing us up, down, side-to-side, and taking us for several twists, turns, and upside-down loops. Maintaining work, life, and family balance seems almost impossible. As the old cliché says, “Hard to keep your head above water.” You are not alone! I am here to help!

I began my journey into the mind by obtaining a Bachelors degree in Marketing from Southern University and A&M College, which allowed me insight into the minds of consumers, crafting programs and marketing strategies aimed at satisfying their most basic needs and desires. Seeking a more intimate connection with the mind, I switched my focus to education, …where I taught various grade levels and various subjects, as well as Special Needs students, until I obtained my Masters in Counseling and began my deep dive into mental health, which led me to my certification as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. I am also at the dissertation phase of a Ph.D. program in Health and Wellness Psychology. I have now been counseling for 17 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. In addition to working with adolescents, I have also worked with young adults, working women, couples, and families, as well as conducting mental health assessments in hospitals.

With a holistic approach, I have helped clients navigate through anger management, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-harm and suicidal idealization, feelings of overwhelming defeat, stress, bullying situations, identity issues, emotional, mental, and sexual abuse, health/wellness, eating disorders, unhealthy relationships, self-esteem issues.

I use a combination of Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, & Mindfulness to create treatment plans covering coping strategies & skills, empowering individuals, families, & communities to prosper & move past the pain to enjoy a greater quality of life.
