I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a broad caseload covering grief and bereavement, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, transition stress, and professional pressure with clients from 14 years old and up.
I grew up in northeast Texas knowing that I wanted to be in the helping field. My introduction to mental health was through questions my primary care physician asked me, so I headed to college believing that I would need to become a physician in order to help people in the psychological field. While at Baylor University, I discovered the field of psychotherapy and switched my focus to counseling. I attended Houston Baptist University and completed a Master's in Counseling. Throughout my internship I worked as a crisis counselor in Odessa/Midland, Texas, a group leader for both inpatient and outpatient clients in Tomball, Texas, and eventually a chaplain/bereavement coordinator for a hospice in Houston, Texas. Upon completion of my internship, I went on a search for a place where I could utilize the skills and experiences from all of these fields plus graduate school. I found a professional landing place with Heritage Behavioral Health Consultants, and I have loved the opportunity to learn from and teach my fellow therapists. My current caseloads spans from middle schoolers to retirees, and I love the opportunity to meet people in the midst of their journey and be a part of their healing. I'd love to get to meet you!
