Contact me if you are looking for a genuine compassion therapist that will hold you accountable, promote and build your emotional growth.

I work fundamentally from a Cognitive Behavioral approach mixed with mindfulness-based practices and person-centered therapy. Mostly, I work for you and will incorporate an integrative approach that will best fit you. I am a fairly open book, given professional boundaries, so feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. The best way to reach me will be via email: [email protected]

I work for and am the owner of Amethyst Counseling, LLC. Amethyst Counseling, LLC is a Texas-based telehealth mental health service for adults. Our mission statement is to promote and build emotional growth so that every client we serve has the opportunity to gain confidence in being the expert of their own life.

My goal is to be able to successfully discharge my clients with the proper tools and coping skills for them to thrive in their life. "Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it's often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis."- Brene Brown.
