Change?!...It's one of life's only constants...& YES, you can do this therapy-thing & make the change!

Welcome to my virtual office! I’m an LPC in Texas since 2005 working with ages from 5-105. My clinical focus & passion are “Neurophysiological challenges” including acute stress, ADHD, anger, anxiety, OCD to PTSD (Except sexual molestation/abuse) and Mood disorders like Depression and Bipolar. I'm also certified as a brain injury specialist with experience aiding individuals and families in adjusting to disabilities, cognitive or physical and chronic pain management. I'm experienced in assisting people in life stage transitions from college aged to seniors. Creating a safe, "therapeutic space" free from judgement or opinions & filled with "being present" with you in the moment, listening intently & coming to understand your story & all it means to you is my priority. I like taking into account the multiple aspects of your life including behaviors, mood, physiology, imagery, thoughts, interpersonal and medical issues when crafting a plan of strategies that best "fits" for you.” A favorite saying of mine is "CHANGE... It's One of Life's Only Constants..." Change often signifies growth. Changes often move us from our comfort zone and may trigger stressful or distressing thoughts, behaviors, emotions or physiological responses. Our responses are often unconscious. Except we consciously recognize increased discomfort, pain or unproductive functioning in our daily roles and relationships. Counseling supports effectively creating personal growth and well-being by improved self-awareness, healthy thinking, productive behaviors or self-mastery for regulating your stress & emotional responses. Whether navigating unplanned life changes or successfully managing those you're planning, counseling supports boosting your quality of life and relationships' happiness and success. If you or a family member are experiencing any social, emotional, mental or behavioral difficulties causing distress & preventing enjoying life or realizing your or their full potential in personal, work or school functioning, I invite you to call me.

My rate is $295 per intake session + $195 per regular session
