I earned my medical degree and completed my residency at the University of South Florida. I completed a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Colorado and am double board-certified in General Psychiatry and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. I have experience in inpatient settings and treating a broad range of psychiatric conditions, including co-morbid substance use disorders.

Highly structured yet comical, I create a nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable being themselves. Each month, I help patients set three short-term goals, reflect on accomplishments, and note things they are grateful for, supporting growth, self-awareness, and emotional balance. During the first session, I discuss the reasons for seeking therapy, preferred treatment approaches, and session frequency. I provide homework and clear follow-up focus points, drawing from Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused therapies. I meet clients where they are, fully committed to guiding those ready to make meaningful, lasting change.

With over two decades in the counseling field, my background includes roles as a Special Education Teacher, Psychology Instructor, Executive Director, Lead Therapist at an outpatient drug treatment facility, Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, and Disability Services Counselor. I hold a BA in Psychology from Tuskegee University, an MS in Counseling & Human Development from Troy University, and an MEd in Rehabilitation Counseling from Auburn University. I am licensed in Texas, Colorado, California, and Arizona. My most recent licensure credential, and the one recognized in California, is Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I am also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC).

I offer a compassionate, client-centered approach that honors each person's unique journey. I am passionate about supporting individuals through significant life changes, addressing interpersonal challenges, and helping clients develop deeper self-understanding and resilience. Patients can expect a respectful, collaborative environment where they feel heard, supported, and empowered. I begin by learning each patient's best hopes for therapy while gaining an understanding of their personal history and current concerns. I work collaboratively with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan that aligns with their goals, values, and vision for growth, adjusting the approach as needed over time.

I completed my Doctorate in Psychology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and have specialized training in grief and trauma counseling. I have extensive experience practicing in both outpatient and residential treatment settings. My clinical background allows me to support individuals facing complex emotional challenges with depth, insight, and professionalism.

I value open communication and help clients set clear treatment goals. I foster a collaborative environment using narrative counseling, Internal Family Systems, and "parts work" to help clients re-story their experiences. I also offer EFT Tapping for trauma, anxiety, depression, and pain. I work from the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and promote self-determination through Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Energy Psychology. I begin by understanding what brings clients to therapy and building a strong therapeutic relationship. I tailor Narrative Counseling and EFT sessions to each individual, collaboratively creating personalized treatment plans with achievable, transformational goals. My approach is holistic, supportive, and designed to empower clients to recognize their strengths and motivation for meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Telehealth provider with extensive experience working in non-profits, schools, academic settings, and private practice. I am certified in Trauma-Informed Interventions, Advanced Grief Counseling, Addictions-Informed Care, Narrative Therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Nutrition & Integrative Medicine for trauma. I hold a BA in Humanities from New College of California and a master's in Counseling from the Wright Institute.
