About

Hello!
My hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm and on Saturday from 10am-1pm. Messages after 8pm will be answered the next morning as soon as I can get to you.
I received my Masters Degree in Counseling at the University of North Texas in Denton Texas. I come from a cognitive behavioral orientation although I also use gestalt therapy. I have treated mental health and addiction issues for 29 years. I have worked with a variety of populations including people with grief issues, HIV and AIDS, dual diagnosis (addiction with a mental health disorder), couples, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I currently have a private practice in Meridian Texas. I practice exclusively online. I provide Christian counseling if you ask for it. My practice is all inclusive regardless of what you spiritual belief is or is not.

I am trained in the stages of change and motivational interviewing techniques. I am certified to teach Developing Capable Young People, a course developed by the late Stephen Glen for caregivers of young people. “My goal for clients is to establish an alliance using love, acceptance, and support. “My hope is that client’s can take something with them from each session that they can apply to their daily lives”.

Just a word about the no show policy I have. If you are going to miss an appointment for a live chat or video session please give me 24 hours notice. If you no show once I will attempt to reschedule the appointment. However after the second one in a row it is up to you to contact me about rescheduling.

I believe in providing compassion, love,and support to my clients. Please make note that I do not provide counseling on demand. So if you send me a message in the middle of my night. I will respond to your post within 24 hours. I respond to all posts within that time frame

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions – research shows that online therapy can yield outcomes comparable to traditional in-person care. A key advantage is flexibility. You can connect with a therapist in the way that suits you best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to choose the format that feels most comfortable. All therapists are licensed professionals, and you have the option to switch providers at any time if you want a different match.
