Einstein said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it”. In other words, we all need outside help at times. Life can be filled with problems and adversities, and we are not meant to face these challenges alone. It is helpful to have a supportive, non-judgmental individual who can help you create and support change. Transformation and healing are possible.
I spent many years stuck in my own alcoholism/addiction. I know the craziness of addiction … the confusion, the shame and not understanding “why” I couldn’t stop. After my own healing and sobriety, I found myself entrenched in the craziness of my son’s addiction and “why” I couldn’t fix him. I become a therapist to help addicts and family members find freedom from addiction.
I’ve worked in a variety of settings - psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, partial hospitalization programs, outpatient programs, mostly working with substance abuse issues along with underlying mental health issues. I have experience leading Family Programs helping those who are suffering from a loved one’s addiction, and I currently work in a Family Program at a residential treatment center. I also have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community and adolescents.
I believe in holistic health, and healing the body, mind, and spirit. I want you to be the best version of yourself in all areas. I look forward to helping you find the power to unlock your full potential and enjoy life to the fullest. My commitment to you is helping you find your inner strength in a safe, supportive environment.
I am a fighting Texas Aggie, a Baylor Bear mom, and a Tennessee Vol mom. I am mother to three amazing men, one who is in long-term recovery from drug addiction. I enjoy physical fitness, cycling, pickleball, spirituality and most outdoor activities.
