About
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in Virginia and Texas with over 15 years of experience working as a mental health counselor. I am also a National Certified Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, a Master Addictions Counselor, and a Certified School Counselor. Additionally. I hold the DOT – SAP Credential I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and substance abuse. I have helped people of diverse backgrounds and issues. I also have experience as a Military and Family Life Counselor. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, rational-emotive, and short-term counseling. With your input, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Making a decision on and seeking mental health counseling can be difficult, but the goal in these actions is to encourage and achieve a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
