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!
Our Fort Worth counseling practice is diverse in providing treatment. We offer individual, family, and marriage counseling. Also, our highly trained therapists provide group therapy for divorce, social anxiety, and pornography addiction.
I am an INFJ (Myers-Briggs) who also enjoys being extraverted at times and I am an Enneagram Type 6 (counter-fearful) Wing 5. I intentionally limit the number of clients I have a week so I can invest in preparing for sessions and being fully present. I love to learn about the brain and body connection and how it ties into our everyday life personally and professionally with clients. I have been known to laugh and cry with clients. Anything I encourage my clients to do, I would also be willing to do.
As a licensed professional counselor and field traumatologist, I am committed to helping you find solutions to overcome life's problems. I specialize in treating trauma, addiction, anxiety, anger, and relationship conflicts.
