It takes great courage to go to counseling because it requires us to be vulnerable. The paradox is that it is precisely through our vulnerability that we arrive at greater joy and belonging to ourselves and to others. Let me start off by saying that counseling can really make a difference in the quality of our lives. With my clinical experience and background, I help people find their true selves and engage life from that deeper place. Things that cause us anxiety and depression are seen with proper perspective and life becomes smoother and more joyful! Hablo espanol!

I graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary with degrees in Christian education and Biblical counseling. I believe that all people should be treated with dignity, grace, and mercy, and that everyone struggles with the basic building blocks of society: relationships. My work is focused on individuals, married couples, families, employees, and small groups.

Mental health exists across the board, no matter the age or culture we come from. From experience and observation, I have found that when we feel heard, validated, and valued by people we trust, the impact is significant and lastingly beneficial. Working on “self”, developing the skills needed to navigate life, building relationships, and maintaining overall well-being can be challenging. I hope to meet you where you are while we build a relationship based on trust, rapport, and empathy. As we continue working together in a non-judgmental, safe space, we will establish your needs and goals as you see fit.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? You are not alone. Life is a journey. We have our dreams, goals, and needs. It can, indeed, be beautiful and rewarding, but the reality is that during our journey we all deal with challenges, sorrow, and experience emotional stumbling blocks. Negative childhood, family, and/or social relationships may be impeding our ability to enjoy life. We can find ourselves "stuck", anxious, frustrated, and/or depressed. The therapeutic process can be a helpful "shortcut" to finding solutions and ways to deal with distressing emotions.

I enjoy helping clients through transitional periods in life, such as moving on from high school to college or the work force, exiting college and starting that first “adult” job, navigating careers and relationships in early adulthood, and working through life and family planning goals.
Navigating life’s unpredictable turns can take a toll on anyone’s mental health. Maybe you’re seeking understanding in a confusing time or hoping to be challenged and believed in. Whether you need some extra encouragement and a non-judgmental ear to listen or you feel completely lost and are searching for purpose, together we can accomplish your goals. I love helping people see other perspectives and possibilities they may have never considered. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults incorporating solution-focused and person-centered approaches as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to best fit each individual's needs.

How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
