My mission is to help clients untangle negative thoughts, build resilience, and rediscover hope.
I consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals on their journey to healing, providing a space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered.
My approach to therapy includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns; Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes finding strengths and solutions for immediate challenges; and Person-Centered Therapy, which creates a supportive environment that fosters self-growth and healing.
I am also a Certified Digital Health and Wellness professional, certified by the NIDHW (National Institute for Digital Health and Wellness), dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of technology use and its impact on mental health.

My Background
My journey to becoming a therapist has been shaped by both personal and professional experiences.
As a military spouse (USAF retired) for 21 years, I experienced the challenges of frequent moves, learned to cultivate resilience, and developed a deep appreciation for flexibility in life’s ever-changing seasons. These experiences have given me a unique perspective in helping others navigate transitions, uncertainty, and emotional hardships. I am also a proud mom to two adult sons, which has given me a deep understanding of the joys and challenges of parenting through different life stages.
With more than 15 years of experience, I have worked extensively in various mental health settings.
I hold a B.S. in Psychology: Christian Counseling and an M.A. in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. My professional background includes experience working at a behavioral health hospital and leadership in a large church counseling ministry, where I currently oversee and continue to expand a thriving lay counseling program. Since stepping into this role, I have grown the ministry from 12 to over 70 lay counselors, significantly increasing access to counseling within the community. I also develop curriculum and lead groups on trauma, mental health, personal growth, and resilience.
As a Licensed Supervisor, I provide oversight and mentorship to Licensed Professional Counselor Associates in Texas, guiding them in their professional growth and development as mental health professionals. My passion is equipping individuals—whether clients, lay counselors, or future therapists—with the tools they need for healing, growth, and lasting change.
You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
