Together, we choose methods that are based in science and proven to be the most effective.

EXPERIENCE

It has been my privilege to obtain over thirty years of experience in all levels of treatment including hospital, residential, out-patient, in-home, online, and educational settings. I began my career in the Mental Health field in 1992, then through further education and experience gained my first Professional Counselor Licensure in Oklahoma in 1999.  I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in Texas and have operated my own Counseling Center in Wylie since 2009.   My LPC-S status allows me to treat clients and supervise other counselors who are seeking to obtain licensure in the state of Texas.
