- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 23 years of professional work experience. My experience comes from providing mental health services to families, children, teens and adults. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I strive to treat the therapeutic relationship with warmth, respect and compassion. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I am here to support you in that process.
A top priority for me is to meet you where you are and walk with you through the changes you wish to make in your life until you meet your goals and get to the place you desire to be. Whether you are working towards gaining insight, reducing symptoms or improving your day to day functioning, my hope is that we can collaboratively work together to achieve it.
I applaud you for taking this first step.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s great and I’m very glad to have her help.
Carol has been a blessing! Slowly I’m opening up and she going through a very difficult time with me right now.
shes such a sweet lady. i havent been seeing her too terribly long but shes been amazing. im able to open up about what id usually feel embarrassed to tell anyone and she never makes me feel bad about it or lets the session get awkward. she makes recommendations that arent out of reach for me and she stays available to talk.
I like her. She is nice and listens well.
I truly enjoy my time with Carol. She is helping me learn the importance of self-care and putting my well being first. Also, she has provided insightful feedback and helped me find ways to look at situations from different perspectives. I feel so comfortable talking with her, like someone I have known for years but in reality have only known a few weeks.
