About

I am so proud of you for making the first step and I look forward to assisting you in your healing journey! I pride myself as being a very open, nonjudgmental therapist with over 12 years' experience in helping people reach their full potential. I encourage all clients to be their selves in sessions and never feel that they have to hold back anything. I am a Dallas, TX native but now reside in the countryside of Brownwood, TX with my husband and our hundreds of animals (crazy where lives paths will lead you). I graduated from The University of Texas at Dallas with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, then continued my education by receiving a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from The University of North Texas. I also attended The Institute of Chemical Dependency Studies in Fort Worth, Texas to further specialized education in the area of addiction. I currently hold licensing as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I began working in the counseling field in 2009 and quickly worked my way up to the management level. I served as the Director of many counseling programs in Dallas, TX before relocating to Brownwood in 2015 and directing treatment services for the adolescent juvenile justice system. I have specialized training in the areas of addiction, childhood trauma, PTSD treatment, anxiety, depression and working with teenage survivors of sex trafficking. I have treated individuals ranging from toddlers to geriatrics but have the most experience treating adolescents and young adults. I am deeply passionate in helping individuals overcome their setbacks to meet their full potential. I moved into the private sector about 4 years ago and it has been an amazing transition. I look forward to working with you!
