Licensed Professional Counseling Services Keller, TX
I entered the counseling profession in 1996, initially providing treatment in both private practice and inpatient/outpatient hospital settings at Charter-Grapevine. Since 1998, my practice has focused exclusively on private counseling, offering individual, marriage, and family therapy. My commitment to resolving relationship challenges evolved into a broader mission to help others achieve their full potential through evidence-based therapeutic approaches. With a Master of Arts in Counseling from Amber University and extensive experience in adult chemical dependency and psychiatric treatment, I employ a collaborative, goal-oriented methodology. My practice integrates Psychodynamic, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Family Systems therapies to address false beliefs and self-destructive behaviors.I emphasize client self-awareness, self-respect, and improved interpersonal skills through personalized treatment plans. My Christian-informed approach respects diverse spiritual perspectives while maintaining professional rigor. Over two decades of practice have refined my ability to guide clients through life transitions, grief, anxiety, and co-dependency issues. I prioritize transparent communication and ethical standards, ensuring each client receives tailored support aligned with their unique needs. This dedication to transformative care has established my practice as a trusted resource in the Keller community.
