About me
I have 15 plus years of mental health experience. I am a TX Licensed professional counselor associate supervised by Torrenzo Moore, PHD, LPC-S. I am a TX licensed chemical dependency counselor and a certified sex addiction therapist.
I am a licensed counselor with the compassion for individuals that face life challenges. We all have been there, and there is a way through it. I have the honor to assist individuals to win back control of their lives. My love of incorporating evidence base techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral, Dialect Behavioral, Internal Family System, and Emotion Focus therapy makes me your ideal therapist.
I have experience working with adults, couples, and teens whom experienced trauma or struggle with anxiety, depression and addictions. I assist in couples work from betrayal trauma to communication conflicts. I also work with individuals on behavioral modifications and assist in the recovery journey of addictions including sexual addiction.
I have the empathy and compassion to meet the need of the community. The stigmas are left at the door, so please contact for more information.
