I’m a wife, mom, school counselor, road trip fanatic and I love watching a good game of baseball. I am also a licensed professional counselor and am in the process of opening my private practice in Bartonville, Texas. I offer both virtual and in-person counseling sessions to those interested in therapy.

I am passionate about providing help for teenagers to guide them through various life challenges. I also have a heart for supporting any adults that contribute to the well-being of a teen. With a healthy support system, there is a better chance of achieving wellness.

How my passion developed

I can relate to the issues of adolescence (as can most of us), because of my personal experiences with stress, anxiety, and loneliness. I understand the challenges that come with wanting to “fit in” and the thoughts that being smarter/richer/prettier would make everything better.

Growing up in a single-parent household, I often felt like I was not enough. Even though there were caring adults in my life, there was still something missing. I have also experienced the other side as a single mother and am now part of a blended family, guiding my children through their own obstacles.

My personal journey took time and effort, but working through the challenges and understanding the root of my emotions helped me to move forward. Now, I am determined to help others find the same success that I did.

How I can help

I seek to help the teens that I work with feel whole regardless of their circumstances. My goal is to help them feel valued and to affirm their importance when they don’t see it. I help them discover the reasons behind their emotions, so they can see that they are not defined by them. They are able to define themselves.
