Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My undergraduate Degree is in Physical Education/English from the University of Texas/Arlington. I taught High School English and coached women’s Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Cross Country before completing my Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Texas/Denton. I find that my teaching and coaching experience has greatly enhanced my skills as a counselor/therapist. I connect easily with people and gain their trust rather quickly and am able to teach them and motivate them to become their very best.
I have experience working with Military personnel and their family members as a Department of Defense Counselor and as a Military Family Life Counselor.
I have experience working with substance abuse having provided counseling for persons ordered to treatment by the courts.
I have been providing counseling services for over twenty seven years both in private practice and as a full time employee, first with Dallas County Probation, then Department of Defense, then MHN as a consultant with the Military community.
I have a very eclectic approach to therapy. I have to see what the client resonates with then offer that for them. I believe every person deserves to be safe and happy and i give my very best to help them achieve this.
Because I have done a lot of trauma work i do a lot of work around the inner child. When you are raised in a dysfunctional homeor have experienced abuse and/or trauma the inner child, the keeper of the feelings often shows up to add a wrinkle to your present life. It is necessary to connect with the inner child and do some healing work in order to be happy in your present life. Sometimes it is hard but the end result is a completely happy person, comfortable in their own skin and in control of their emotions.

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes, research and clinical experience show that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is convenience. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best – through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life.
These services are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel another fit would be better. Online therapy offers an accessible path to address everyday mental health needs while maintaining the same professional standards expected in face-to-face care.
