ABOUT ME

For 25 years, I have counseled children, teens and college students. I am passionate about being a therapist.

If you are having personal, family, friend or school problems, I can help work through your emotions. I will share problem-solving methods so you can feel understood and accepted. I will kindly and gently guide your feelings, thoughts and behavior towards self-awareness and growth.

I love helping individuals and families resolve issues to sustain mental wellness. You will have a space to freely share your deepest emotions and struggles.

​

What makes me unique?

• I have a boutique, private practice where you will feel as if you are my only client. I am flexible with my time and locations.

• I conduct school visits to suggest strategies for teachers and administrators to improve student behavior and performance. 

• I consult with families and design solutions for crisis intervention.  

• I serve as a child advocate and expert witness in Dallas County family courts.

• ​I am a certified psychotherapeutic yoga instructor.
