The Happy Lawyer: How Your Emotional Health and Legal Success are Connected

As a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor, I am in private practice serving Northeast Tarrant County to include Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, North Richland Hills, Grapevine and surrounding communities. I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling from Virginia Tech University. I also hold a Doctorate of Jurisprudence and practiced Environmental Law before making a most satisfying career transition to Counseling. I have spent more than a third of my life living outside of the United States. My experiences living abroad and learning from other cultures has shaped my worldview and, in turn, my counseling style.

My warm personality and active listening style contribute to the calm, supportive, and respectful environment I create for my clients. I join with each client to explore, find meaning, and facilitate growth in the face of life’s challenges and opportunities. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop an individualized, holistic, and strengths-based approach to wellness. With this approach, clients experience relief and develop strategies for lasting change and enduring success.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three daughters, exploring nature, cooking, and reading.
