When asked why I am a Psychotherapist,  I share that I believe that therapy supports generational wellbeing.

It is my belief that women who experience empowerment and  wholeness, mentally, emotionally and physically, will foster generational well-being.  Each individual who is able to embrace and practice self-compassion that leads to personal empowerment will model these attributes to those in their world  thus, contributing to a future generation of mentally and emotionally empowered individuals.  If our goal is to experience greater kindness, empathy, emotional intelligence and resilience in our future generations we must begin by cultivating each of these attributes within ourselves.

Courage. Seeking therapy is a personal act of courage. I am passionate about fostering hope, individual empowerment, well-being, and wholeness. Helping adults, particularly women break free of the thoughts, feelings and actions that are barriers to their best life is the primary focus for my practice. I strive to provide supportive, authentic, non-judgmental counseling interactions designed to facilitate personal insight and growth.  My primary clientele consists of women who are dealing with life challenges including depression, grief, anger, divorce, anxiety, co-dependency, perfectionism, impostor syndrome and shame.

As a Certified Grief Educator I support clients whose hearts maybe broken due to death, divorce, empty-nest, and other life losses. Grief is a normal and natural reaction to loss. I am here to support the needs of you the griever, by witnessing your grief in a supportive, non-judgmental  manner.

I am a Board Certified Coach, available to adult clients who may not require therapy but are seeking a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. I offer coaching for clients in their personal, career, and marital relationships.  I call upon my 35+ years of business experience in the healthcare industry to support and guide clients on their personal empowerment journey.

I began Life Directions in 2006 as a coaching and business consulting practice. With the completion of my master’s degree in Professional Counseling, I incorporated counseling into the practice.

I hold a license in Professional Counseling from the State of Texas. I am also a Board-Certified Life Strategy Coach and a Certified Grief Educator.

As a former Bethel Bible teacher and Lay Chaplain, I am able to support clients who want to incorporate their Christian beliefs in their quest for wholeness and personal excellence.  In addition my 35+ years in the corporate healthcare industry is integral to supporting both coaching and therapy clients who are facing life and career challenges.
