I was born and raised in South Louisiana and moved to Texas when I was 18. I have been a high school psychology teacher for fifteen years and a teacher for twenty years. Teaching has given me the chance to meet so many children from all different backgrounds, cultures, and abilities. These experiences have taught me so much and helped me see we are all interconnected. In addition, I have three children in their early twenties who kept me very busy for many years but who will always be the joy of my life. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends, learning new things and walking my dog around the neighborhood. Connection and openness to learn from life and others is very important to me.

My goal is to help clients to work towards a sense of wellness and empowerment by developing a client-counselor relationship in which there is trust and understanding. A variety of techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, client-centered and solution-based therapy that meet the needs of the client can be used to help clients reach their counseling goals.
