My Approach to Helping
Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor in both Texas and California. I am also a licensed sex offender treatment provider in Texas. I received my doctoral degree in counselor education from Texas A&M in Corpus Christi, TX. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and am actively involved in research and learning about autism spectrum condition—specifically, adults who have been diagnosed; lowering victim numbers through sexual abuser prevention, treatment, and provider care; as well as the biological and neurological changes which contribute to addiction.
Helping people navigate life transitions and new expectations from emerging adulthood, mid-life changes including sexuality, children, careers, relationship types, and all the chaos of life, to end-of-life decisions and stresses as parents pass on, retirement choices have to be made, grandchildren raised, disease, and loss of friends and family. For people who have spent part of their lives in jails and prisons, navigating the world that changed while you were not active in it is often difficult, and helping you take those steps to understanding your new normal is my privilege.
