I am licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 25 years of professional work experience. I am also a RN, with years of behavioral health experience, currently working with the geriatric population. I have experience in the mental health, chemical dependency, domestic violence, and caregivng arenas. As we age, there are a multitude of challenges that are presented, affecting our physical and emotional health. No matter what we are faced dealing with, there is support available to help manage your daily life. No matter what our age is, the goals are to live our best life , seeking peace, empowerment, and purpose.

I have worked with the older population , helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation, self esteem, self image, depression, and physical challenges. As a therapist and a RN, I am aware that at this stage of our life, there are stressors that are unique with the older population.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
