For the past three years, she has seen clients through the offices of Matthew Houston, Ph.D., Price, Proctor & Associates, in DISD elementary schools as a volunteer counselor and in her own practice.

She will work with you to help you learn about yourself so that you can make lifelong changes in order to have a more fulfilling and happier life.
You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your health care will cost.
