I have over 25 years working with people facing a variety of life's challenges.

The core of my therapeutic techniques utilize Rogerian Therapy mixed with Minuchin systems theory.

I am a native of Dallas, TX, who grew up and attended school in the Oak Cliff area. My two sisters and I were raised by a single mother who instilled great character, family values and a positive work ethic in each of us. I am a mother of five, and grandmother of six, who has overcome many obstacles during turbulent times in my life. This allowed me to develop a compassion and empathy for the hurt and pain of others and desire to help them overcome as well. Three words that describe my therapeutic style are: genuine, compassionate and challenging. I work with the client to help them identify and build on their strengths to help them manage and work towards accomplishing their goals. I seek to provide an accepting and encouraging environment for the client to feel free to open up and work through life's challenges.

“Everything you’ve faced so far, you have survived. I believe it is within reach to not only survive but thrive”. People often say my “casual style” and “attention to detail” helps others quickly feel comfortable opening up and sharing their story. I am passionate about seeing others thrive in growth and happiness. I use a combination and personalized approach to counseling to help each person discover the power within themselves to experience positive change as needed. I specialized experience in counseling those participating in medication assisted treatment such as methadone and suboxone, and my prior military, medical, teaching, and coaching experience allows me to diversify therapeutic approaches. Common approaches used are CBT, Person-Centered, and integrated wellness approaches to incorporate physical and emotional wellness components. I have experience in substance/MAT, nutrition, weight loss, chronic medical, sleep disorder concerns.

I am from Philadelphia, PA and grew up in southern NJ. I began my career in the corporate world and in a variety of creative environments, specifically in graphic design and music. I shifted my career path following several traumatic events that radically challenged my goals and changed my perspectives and beliefs about helping. It was that moment that I explored my life’s purpose and began to find ways to help others as a result of being unable to find the help I needed to cope and to function. Although those experiences were the most painful I have experienced, each has greatly influenced my approach to being an empathic listener and a non-judgmental clinician who can understand the impact of great pain and loss. I work with a variety of patients, including children, college students, couples, families, and older adults. Professionally, my approach is dialectical and as a DBT certified clinician I offer life skills that are practical, easy to recall, and allow for change.
