I am compassionate and resilient. My mom died when I was 13. I helped my dad raise my two younger brothers, who were 4 and 6 when she passed. And so began my novice journey of guiding, supporting and serving others.

I am a New Orleans native and was a military wife for 12 years. I’m a certified Texas educator, working with special needs students. I am proficient in reading, writing and implementing individualized education programs. I counsel from the cognitive behavioral therapy approach. I have experience utilizing play therapy with elementary age children, helping them express their emotions and feelings in a safe environment. I also work with students and adults of all ages.

As a Christian counselor, I seek to embody the characteristics of love, honor, faith, compassion and humility. I applaud you for taking the step to utilize therapy as a resource for a more fulfilling existence. It’s important you invest time in yourself. You should be fully living the Gift of life. You are worth the effort; let me help you do the work.
