It's All About Me (No not really)
My great-grandmother introduced me to Jesus when I was around 5. I attended a local church service until I got into high school, but I was not at all what you would consider a 'committed Christian'. I completely forgot about Him when I got to college. This is where I learned (incorrectly) that 'all religions lead to God'. I was a typical 'prodigal' daughter. I went from home to the far country to have fun and experience life. But thanks to God, He did not give up on me. I came to the saving faith in Jesus Christ by hearing the preaching of The Gospel. I knew from life experiences that God had always been there with me. Since then, God has shown me how amazing He is, and I have not looked back. I am a Doctor of Education in Community Care and Counseling. Also, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the states of Texas, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas & Colorado. I reside in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I studied psychology and human behavior at Saint Martin's College in Washington State, obtaining a Bachelor of Science in 1999. I advanced my clinical learning at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2005 and graduated with a Master of Science degree in Social Work. I obtained a doctorate of education at Liberty University in 2023. My formal and informal education in the hard school of life has given me a well-rounded experience in dealing with people and their problems. His Strength Counseling was officially established in March 2015. I obtained my clinical experience helping individuals who were hurting so much mentally or were at serious risk of harm from withdrawal from dangerous substances they had to be hospitalized in an acute hospital setting. It was here I gained my expertise in counseling severely mentally ill and drug/alcohol addicted clients. Real therapy is not done in a hospital setting; crisis management and stabilization are the top priorities in this level of care. Actual therapy begins after the crisis had been stabilized. I would continue working with customers after they have been discharged with ongoing stabilization and helped them to learn how to manage their illnesses. I have counseled and coached people in their homes and online. I have worked with people from all kinds of life and have experience with Adults and adolescents, couples, and families.

My Basic Beliefs |
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, Jesus came to earth, He died and rose again, and will be returning to earth to establish His eternal kingdom.
I believe that change is possible with The Holy Spirit, commitment, and a willing heart. I believe that most of the problems suffered by people are because of hereditary and learned upbringing, childhood traumatic events, irrational beliefs and distorted thinking, and the unseen spiritual world of demons and other evil spirits. I believe the Bible is God's inspired Word, and every word in it is useful for healing, growth, and restoration. |
My Belief about Therapy & Coaching |
I believe in meeting people where they are. I believe part of my role is to help clients see their own God-given power and ability to make the changes needed to improve their lives. My counseling style is compassionate and direct, focusing on helping clients break down the mental and spiritual barriers preventing them from achieving their goals. I do not believe in labeling individuals; however, I do take some insurance that requires me to provide a mental health diagnosis. A person is not their diagnosis. A person's life is not their problem, a person's life is based on every decision they make for every day they are still alive. My coaching style is friendly, objective, and flexible to meet the needs of clients without serious mental health problems such as active suicidal or psychotic symptoms.
