As a counselor, I enjoy helping people find solutions to the problems and issues in their lives. I bring my clinical experience and academic training as a Ph.D. into my work with clients.

Prior to opening my practice, I provided counseling services to children, teens, and adults in outpatient offices, junior high/high schools, and university clinics in the DFW area.

To better meet the needs of young children, I use play therapy and have a therapy area that is exclusively tailored to them. In addition to traditional "talk therapy", I use sandtray and expressive arts activities to help clients arrive at workable solutions.   

Whether you are considering counseling for yourself, your child, or for your family, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.
