In years of practicing counseling and doing my own training and research, I have learned that besides knowing "Why" it is also important to know "How." I find many people knowing where their trauma or problem is coming from, but they are still not able to move forward and resolve the issue. My focus is on understanding the client's challenges and then helping them move forward with practical and manageable steps.
All of the counselors at Path to Victory Counselor are in this line of work because we have personally experienced hardships from addiction to mental health challenges and so much more. We are working in this field because we have a deep passion to help people gain a deeper understanding of who they are, how their past influenced where they are at today, and how to move forward in a way that will enable them to achieve their hopes and dreams. We want to help people find the tools that draw out the best within themselves. We believe that people are capable of healing with the right guidance and support and we find it an honor when clients choose us to walk alongside them on this profound journey.
Licensed in Texas, I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. More specifically, I have worked with college-aged to middle-aged adults, educators, moms who are trying to "do it all”, as well as women navigating career and role changes. I provide an accepting and non-judgmental space that helps clients grow by learning new skills that help them navigate through the challenges and struggles that they are currently facing.

Managing life's various stressors can be overwhelming. This is especially true is you are also contending with mental health or substance use challenges. Therapy can be a useful tool for navigating challenging circumstances, exploring and processing your thoughts and emotions, and taking meaningful action that is consistent with your goals and values. It is an opportunity to tend to your emotional wellbeing within an environment characterized by understanding, compassion, and empathy.

Licensed Professional Counselor, PsyD, LPC, E-RYT500
Currently not accepting new clients. I am dedicated to providing compassionate psychotherapy to individuals and couples navigating life’s challenges. I create a warm and understanding environment where clients can feel supported while working to overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching their goals and dreams.
I am trained in EMDR, DBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 and Level 2, and a Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Leader. I hold certifications in trauma and sex therapy. Additionally, I am an experienced 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500).
I strive to ensure that my clients feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate their healing journey.
I firmly believe that you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Together, we can work to find the clarity and solutions needed to live a more satisfying and intentional life. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to schedule your session today.
Therapists can be stuffy and uptight. I know I’ve been to some of them. When you’re in the office with one of them, you can feel yourself squirming and thinking, “When can I get out of here?” When you see me, you get a real human being instead of a therapy robot that strokes its beard and asks, “How did that make you feel?” at semi-regular intervals.
I have a sense of humor, and I know that you sometimes need a laugh during talking about heavy things going on in your life. I might use a metaphor from your favorite TV show to help you get some insight into what’s going on in your life. And I’m happy to share my story to help you on your journey.
I am also deeply committed to therapy that works. I once worked at a clinic where a client was referred to us after spending four years and $40,000 on psychoanalysis – with little to no results. That’s a story that breaks my heart to this day.
My goal from day one is to get you to fire me. In the very first encounter you have with me, I ask one of the most important questions in therapy, “What would have to be different in your life for you to say, ‘I don’t think I need therapy anymore.’” Once we answer that question, we plan our way backward and continually move you toward your goal.

"Relatable", "warm", and "easy to talk to" might be used to describe my approach. Understanding your story, who you are and where you want to go is the foundation of the therapist/client relationship we have. Honesty and compassion mixed with a dose of intention and self awareness can be life-changing.
In the therapy session, my main intent is to be fully present with you, free of judgment; to create a spacious environment in which you can explore your own truth and start to shed the layers of pain, anxiety and trauma that no longer serve you. I’ve been pulled by this strong force to access wisdom and connect with something higher than this tangible world. Through this personal experience, we can work together to learn how you can connect with your body, mind, and soul to heal as you shed the harmful negative thoughts and practices and begin healthy and fulfilling ones.

The personal statement for Better CALL Darrell is compelling efficiency that intentionally focuses on providing deliberate focused efficacy that with proactive assistance from the client will produce immediate and long-term transformation.
Has your relationship become an angry, sad, or scary place leaving you feeling alone, hurt, and discouraged? Are you and your partner feeling lost in conflict cycles you don’t understand and desperately want to change? Many of the couples I work with come to therapy feeling just like you. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and to let another person get inside your relationship, especially when you are feeling so vulnerable. If you are searching for a safe place to explore what's not working in your relationship, and support in creating solutions, I can help. My practice focuses exclusively on couple therapy. In addition to thousands of hours working with couples in distress, I have completed hundreds of hours of clinical training specific to couples therapy, including advanced training in both Emotion Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method Couple Therapy. I am truly passionate about helping couples heal and flourish.
Recent unforeseen world changes have many of us restricted from our usual routines. At times, this leaves us with struggling thoughts of past wounds leading into present life, which can impact our emotional well-being and perhaps even lead to conflicts in relationships. I bring a wide-range of experience working with young adults pertaining to struggles of anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.
I delicately intertwine visiting the past & understanding the impact it has on the present; all while building from one’s strengths, exploring coping strategies & practical skills to help in the healing process. I strive to truly engage with my clients, providing a compassionate, empathetic, safe and supporting environment that fosters emotional well-being.
I understand this is a huge first step and that is why I offer a FREE 15 minute phone consultation to ensure this process is a positive one for you and for the therapeutic relationship. Therapy is a powerful process that enables us to heal and live fulfilling lives. Click the “email” button to get started. I look forward to connecting soon!
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor
I am a person of long term recovery from substance use disorder, I am the wife of a person in long term recovery and I have 2 adult children that are in recovery as well. When it comes to the power of addiction, there is no one that I can't relate too. I know from personal experience the devastation that addiction brings to a family but also know the power of what recovery can bring. It is not an easy path and often times residential treatment and/or intensive outpatient treatment is a starting point. My desire to help people break free from the cycle of addiction comes from knowing that we do recover!
I am a clinical psychologist who has been in private practice for 5 years. Prior to private practice, I have worked in college counseling and community mental health centers working with individuals who present for therapy for a wide array of reasons. In addition to my private practice, I provide psychological evaluations to children who are looking for autism-specific treatment. Some areas of my interest are men's issues, anxiety, depression, and work within systems (families & couples).
First hand, I know the power that negative beliefs can have on one's life. I also know what freedom and healing from those beliefs feels like. Wow, it's amazing!
I am weak. I am not enough. I am invisible.
Have you had similar thoughts to these or know that somewhere in yourself you do not fully love and accept yourself?
Together, we can identify those beliefs and work toward healing and freedom. You do not have to be in-chained to those beliefs and doubt forever.
Throughout my journey, I have spent time stateside and abroad, which gave me an even greater passion for people and helping people understand themselves more and truly find their voice. During my career in education, I became equipped in understanding young people and how to assist them in navigating life along with their parents. In addition, this lead to me specializing in trauma, the use of EMDR, and mindfulness methods as a source of healing. I enjoy working with individuals from young adolescents to mature adults, couples and families including blended families.
With support and healing, you will find your VOICE again.
