"I have another question not answered here. How do I contact you?"

  • Suspected child or elder abuse.  (I am mandated to report this)
  • Risk of harm to self (I have to ensure client safety)
  • Risk of harm to others (Duty to warn victim)
  • Court ordered subpoena (signed by a judge)

For those that are new to my practice, sessions are typically held once a week or every 2 weeks for about 50 - 55 minutes.  Once a plan is in place, we may taper sessions to once every 3 weeks, then to once per month.  The total amount of our time together will depend on your needs and preferences.  Some issues are resolved in just a few sessions, while other concerns take more in-depth work.  You are always in control and have the final say in how long we work together.            

Yes, you may cancel or reschedule your appointment by texting/calling me by phone.  I require a 24 hour notice or you will be charged a cancellation fee.  The cancellation policy is outlined in more detail in the intake paperwork.

If you are looking to better cope with the stress of everyday life, improve your relationships with others and with yourself and to make a change by accomplishing some personal or professional goals, counseling can help. I can facilitate increased insight and awareness into your current situation for you to achieve personal growth.  Also, if you are facing any type of life transition, therapy can help you prepare for the next phase of your life.

I happily invite you to connect to my business Facebook page here, however my counseling code of ethics requires that I set professional boundaries which means that I cannot be friends with you online or in real life.  Friends support and care for each other - our therapeutic relationship is one-way and is all about me supporting and caring for you.  

"How do I know if I will benefit from counseling / therapy?

"Can I cancel or reschedule my appointment?"

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) which means I have taken and passed the National Counselor Examination for Licensure and Certification (NCE) and completed over 3,000 post-graduate hours of supervised counseling in a professional environment.  I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) which is a premier certification that demonstrates to colleagues and the public that I have voluntarily met high national standards for the practice of counseling.  In addition, I am also a Certified School Counselor (CSC) in the state of Texas.  I hold an M.A. (Master's of Arts) degree in Communication and an M.Ed. (Master's of Education) degree in Counseling.  Although counselors can become state licensed practitioners with a Master's degree, I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling to enhance my skill set and training even further.
