D2 Counseling

My specialties are intimate relationships and individual personal growth. My work with couples primarily involves developing meaningful communication, deeper intimacy, an enhanced sex life and a renewed sense of connection between partners. I also work with individuals who are experiencing grief, trauma or loss relating to relationship break ups, infidelity, divorce or bereavement. The therapeutic approach of my practice is effective for Christian Counseling but equally applicable for persons of all faith backgrounds.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with a Master’s Degree in Counseling from UTRGV and a Bachelor’s Degree in Spanish from USNY. After years of counseling in public education, I completed additional graduate work at UNT Dallas in couples counseling and specific training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.

I began my counseling career in ministry and use this background to integrate spiritual principles into helping clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their partner and other important people in their lives. I offer private counseling to individuals, couples, families and groups.
I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from Amberton University and a Master of Divinity from Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. I am credentialed as an LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor) and LPC-S (Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor). Both of these credentials are licenses from the State of Texas. In addition, I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
My business partner Dr. Dina Hijazi and I both consult with businesses, churches and organizations around conflict management, relational policies and emotional development within the organization.

My love and passion for helping others with mental illness began 20 years ago when I was a foster parent, caring for children who had experienced significant trauma. Since that time, I have dedicated my career to helping others find hope and healing.

I have a diverse background, having worked as a parenting instructor, family conflict specialist, adolescent unit director in behavioral health hospitals, and provide psychotherapy/marriage counseling in private practice settings.
