About
As an African American male who has personally experienced ADHD and anxiety, I understand how stress can make tasks feel overwhelming. I take a laid back, nonjudgmental approach to create a safe space for clients, making it easier to discuss challenges.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Texas with 9 years of experience. Since 2016, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals in navigating anxiety, self-esteem, depression, life transitions, focus issues, and overcoming challenges. My approach is centered on helping clients shift thought patterns to create healthier perspectives, and I work to provide a professional yet welcoming environment where people feel heard, understood, and supported. I aim to help reduce anxiety and depression, while empowering clients to overcome obstacles and build resilience for long-term growth and positive change.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to guide clients in addressing challenges with new perspectives. By focusing on skills such as self-reflection and positive affirmations.
I understand firsthand how difficult mental health struggles can be, and I bring that insight into my work with every client. My goal is always to listen with compassion, meet clients where they are, and offer personalized support that addresses their unique needs and lived experiences, helping them move forward with confidence.

As someone who has struggled with symptoms associated with trauma and grief, I can identify with the many challenges faced and understand the importance of practicing mindfulness and finding meaning.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 13 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. I focus on trauma and grief therapy, as well as helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. Many people I work with seek a safe place to process their emotions, find direction, and build resilience.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling and Human Development from Hardin Simmons University. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, often incorporating evidence-based practices such as logotherapy, mindfulness, and equine therapy. I tailor care to each person’s unique needs and goals.
I know reaching out for support takes courage, and I want you to know that you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood as you work toward healing and growth. I would be honored to walk alongside you in this journey.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Domestic violence therapy is a specialized form of counseling that helps victims and their families heal from abusive relationships. It is a crucial component of the broader efforts to address and combat domestic violence, a pattern of abusive behaviors within intimate relationships that can encompass physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, or economic abuse.
In domestic violence therapy, therapists create a safe and supportive environment. Domestic violence therapy is often part of a broader support network that includes legal assistance, shelters, and community resources. Its aim is to break the cycle of abuse, promote safety, and foster healthier relationships.
Domestic violence therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Domestic violence therapy can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
If your partner has harmed you or threatened to harm you, know that help is available at Thriveworks Georgetown. Our counselors know what it takes to help their clients find safety.
Living in a home where violence occurs means that there is also the constant threat of violence. When the brain senses a threat, it releases stress hormones that allow people to respond appropriately with either fight or flight.
People who live in a violent environment, therefore, have the short-term danger of injuries and harm from the violence, but they also face the long-term detriment to their health from the stress.
Domestic violence follows a cycle, in nearly every case. This cycle can take moments to complete and begin again, but it can also take years. The cycle almost always escalates, with each iteration more caustic than the previous. The cycle is also recurrent: the violent partner may promise that “it will never happen again,” but it will repeat and repeat and repeat without significant intervention.
The Honeymoon Phase: Even the worst cases of domestic violence have times of peace. These seemingly good times often confuse victims into believing that things will change… It will be different next time or … they are very sorry for their actions. Unfortunately, these times are usually just the quiet before the storm.
The Tension Building Phase: At some point, the violent partner will demand more and more from the victim. Many victims describe the tension-building phase as walking on eggshells: they do everything in their power to prevent the impending violence. The violent partner leads them to believe that somehow the violence is their fault, and therefore, their actions can prevent it. However, violence is never the victim’s fault. Violence is always a choice.
The Abusive Phase: At some point, the violent partner will choose to act violently. This may be in the form of emotional, physical, or sexual violence. Many times, it is a combination of the three. The responsibility for the violence lies solely on the partner who chose to act violently. No one ever deserves violence.
