Narrative Therapists in Texas

I am passionate about working with people who want to find their most authentic selves. I work to meet people where they are and to help them learn tools to reach the goals they set for themselves.

I have extensive training in addictions and is excited about the opportunity to work with clients to help them envision the life they want. The best part of my job is when I get to see progress a client makes. Supervised by Leigh Rainwater, LPC-S.

Striving to help you gain insight about the problems hindering you from living your best life possible, address unhelpful beliefs, thoughts, and patterns of behavior, and implement new ways of coping through life’s issues.

As a pre-licensed intern, my goal is to empower you to make positive changes. I work under the supervision of Dr. Angela Waggoner as I complete full licensing requirements in Texas. I earned a Master’s degree from Liberty University in 2008, and I earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southampton. I am currently in a degree program to update coursework and meet licensing requirements. I am certified in mindfulness-based stress reduction and am a certified clinical trauma professional. I have a great deal of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in crisis. I utilize trauma-informed care as I teach mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation to help manage anxiety, depression, anger, and other difficulties. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and I use this in my work.

Now scheduling in person and telehealth sessions. Help is available for symptoms of anxiety and depression, working through past trauma, managing perfectionism, improving communication with others, relationship concerns, navigating workplace dynamics and more. We specialize in complex trauma/CPTSD.

I love helping women navigate through life’s challenges of overwhelm, self-doubt, etc. using support, compassion, encouragement, and accountability. The pressure of being a woman in today’s society can be challenging, even for the most successful. The idea that we have to “do it all” in order to “have it all” can be overwhelming and downright paralyzing at times. Each stage of a woman's life can present a different set of challenges. Are you struggling to find your path as you are entering into adulthood? Are you finding retirement age challenges to be too much to handle on your own? Or are you somewhere in-between? Do you feel guilty because you chose a career over a family, or a family over a career? Are you overwhelmed because you chose both but feel you are not living up to your or everyone else's expectations? Do you feel inadequate because you feel a major part of your life is missing but you are not sure how to find it? Do you feel like on paper, you have it all, but just can’t shake the feelings of depression, anxiety, overwhelm, or inadequacy? Or maybe you just need a few minor adjustments to be able to live your life to the fullest. I’ve been there, and through the help of others, I was able to reframe the way I viewed my life and make changes to allow myself to live with peace and joy again. I love helping other women work through their issues and gain control over their lives, and I would love to help you through your journey. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, and we will work together as a team to find the best approach to creating and meeting your goals. I approach therapy with a combination of support, encouragement, guidance, and accountability. I will help you discover the strength within you and the right tools to envision and live the life you want. If I sound like the right match for you, please reach out and let’s get started on your journey of healing. I welcome anyone who identifies as a woman or identifies with women’s issues, regardless of sex, gender, or sexual identity.

I am a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and an Anger Management Specialist.

As a teacher of Deaf/HoH students, I was often frustrated with attempts at finding mental health providers who could communicate with my students in their preferred language. Throughout my years as a mother and teacher, the importance of addressing mental health early and effectively became painfully apparent. In my quest to find ways to support my children and my students, I found a new passion. Returning to graduate school was a scary endeavor, but one I am so glad I chose. Now I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, able to provide mental health counseling services to hearing people and Deaf/HoH people in whichever mode of communication they prefer. It is my honor to be invited into the lives of my clients and walk with them through their mental health journeys.
