My passion is to help both couples and individuals. I understand your pain, and I understand that in seeking out a counselor it is quite possible you have not shared any of your pain with anyone else before. This can make opening up to a stranger, such as my self, difficult, but rest assured that I am patient, compassionate, and come from a place of non-judgment. I understand what it is like to not want to get out of bed in the morning because you are so depressed, or that you can’t function at work because you are too worried about all the other things and/or people in your life to be able to focus on work. I also know what it’s like, to have one foot out of the door with your relationship because you’re fighting all of the time with your partner, and you want the chaos to stop, but neither of you know how to get there. I know what struggling to just keep your head above water is like, and that is why I was called into this profession. I can help you see through the pain and turmoil, to overcome the obstacles that are hindering your life path. Once you overcome these obstacles, you will be able to live the type of life that YOU want to live. With that being said, the power to overcome what is troubling you lies in how much determination and motivation you possess. Much like the phoenix, you have the power to rise from the ashes and be transformed. I have seven years in mental health experience, and have been providing counseling services for over three years to people in the Grayson, Cooke, Fannin, and Bryan County areas. I am trained in Emotion Focused Therapy for couples, and am pursuing certification. This therapy has 20 years of research supporting its effectiveness and has a 70-75 percent success rate for couples who have a variety of concerns, ranging from a loss of spark to infidelity to trauma. I am a Texoma-raised counselor and my hometown is Sherman, TX. This means that I understand the unique needs of our community and am invested in making our community a happier and healthier place to live. I have also provided mental health services to people who were feeling like they were out of control, hopeless, sad, and didn’t know what to do next because they were just too overwhelmed. I began my career by working for a local mental health community center that provided services to people who had some of the most severe diagnoses and disorders. Working at this center afforded me the unique opportunity to help people from many different walks of life, different cultural backgrounds, and who had many different struggles. My experience at the community center has also assisted me in fine-tuning my counseling skills so that I may assist people with issues or diagnoses that are often difficult to treat. I am passionate about helping people who believe they have hit a roadblock in their life or in their relationship and are determined to regain a lifestyle that they enjoy.

I also accept many private insurances, including Optum/United Behavioral Health, Multiplan, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna Health Insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna and TriCare Standard. I am also a part of several EAP programs
