“We don’t have to do it alone, we were never meant to.”
-Brene Brown

I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. My Master’s Degree is from Texas A&M-Commerce. My experience includes community settings as well as school campuses and a local college campus. I have worked with clients as young as 4 years old all the way up to senior citizens. Some of the presenting issues have included anxiety, depression, self-harm, and career counseling.

Cognitive Behavioral Counseling has proven successful across multiple mental health challenges. However, it is not the only proven therapy available. I believe in taking a more holistic approach to therapy. Our mental health goes deeper than just our thoughts. It also includes the physical aspects. This is why I challenge myself to learn new techniques to grow as a counselor and reach more clients.
I have lived in the Sherman/Denison area for over 40 years. I really love this community. I have 3 kids ranging in age from toddler to teenager. You may have seen me coaching on the soccer field, substituting at 1 of the schools, teaching Vacation Bible School, or as homeroom Mom back when we could host class parties. Now you can find me in the garden or herding chickens and ducks. I enjoy Urban Homesteading until I can move to the country. If you haven’t tried gardening, I would highly encourage you to try it! Planting a seed and watching it grow is like planting new thoughts and watching yourself grow into something wonderful.
