About

With over 19 years of extensive experience, I am a Ph.D. (Clinical, Health, Forensic, & Neuropsychologist). I am a board-certified, (nationally and internationally) licensed professional counselor in Texas, Illinois, and The Bahamas, Licence Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) Kentucky; Licence Independent Mental Health Practioner (Nebraska); Licence Clinical Professional (Montana LIC# BBH-LCPC-LIC-31419); Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH); License Associate sex offender provider (LASOP), License Sex Offender Evaluator(LSOE), Licence Sex Offender Treatment Provider (LSOTP). I have three master’s degrees (Professional Counseling, Clinical Psychology, and Christian Counseling). I am a Doctor (Ph.D. APA Accredited) in Clinical, Health, forensic, and Neuropsychology, and have been inducted into the Psi Chi international honor society in psychology, and the Pi Lambda Theta honor society in education.

I have worked successfully with individuals, couples, groups, and families with a broad range of concerns, including parenting problems, addiction, career challenges, depression, divorce, domestic abuse, and eating disorders. I have also worked with persons coping with illness, grief, loss, family conflict, pre-marital concerns, anxiety, infidelity, OCD, men’s issues, sexual abuse, spirituality, suicidal ideation, PTSD, weight loss, women’s issues, relationships issues, and panic attacks. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I show empathy and believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is integrative, so it combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, motivational, rational emotive counseling, smart recovery, and positive psychology. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and will do my best to assist you in achieving the desired results.
It is commendable and takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to encourage, support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
