  I work enthusiastically and empathically alongside children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families as we face the struggles encountered along life's journey. Our staff at Fondren Institute is comprised of a varied group of masters and doctoral students/licensed counselors who exhibit the highest qualities of training, compassion, and empathy. I feel very privileged to be a member of this staff of talented and caring individuals. As a student of counseling I find personal reward in private and group counseling with children, families, couples, and individuals. I practice with an emphasis on person-centered, empathic counseling techniques which lead to empowerment of the individual and development of self-awareness through the process of holistic therapy.
