I offer counseling that combines compassion, common sense, and clinical expertise. Whether you want to address a specific problem or improve your overall quality of life, we can work together to help you find both short-term relief and long-term solutions.

My approach is tailored to fit individual needs. I am guided by the cognitive-behavioral model, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Concepts and techniques from other theoretical perspectives are integrated as appropriate. I advocate care for the whole person--body, mind, and spirit.  Christian counseling is available upon request. 

Although I see clients from all walks of life, I specialize in working with military veterans and their families. I provide assistance with pre-deployment preparation, coping with separation and loss, combat trauma, and adjusting to civilian life and/or life after combat. As an expression of gratitude to those who have served our country, military veterans and TRICARE beneficiaries receive a 20% discount on all services. In addition, I partner with an organization that is often able to cover most (if not all) of the cost of therapy for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families.

When choosing a mental health professional, it is important to find someone who is a good fit for your needs and personality. For a free phone consultation, please call 817.404.7999. I am happy to answer your questions and determine how I can be of help.  Day, evening, and weekend appointments are available.
