About me

Welcome to Adams Counseling and Education Services, PLLC. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with more than 27 years of experience, I am devoted to offering compassionate, attentive, and supportive care to individuals seeking guidance and healing on their journey toward emotional wellness.

I was born and raised in Texas and graduated from Dublin High School in Dublin, Texas. After getting married, I moved with my husband to his home state of Washington, where we made our home in Spokane for more than 15 years. During that time, I attended Gonzaga University and earned degrees in Pre-Law and Human Services. I later completed a two-year certification in Chemical Dependency Studies at Spokane Falls Community College, allowing me to focus my early work on supporting individuals in methadone clinics and treatment programs.

When I returned to Texas, I continued my education at Tarleton State University and completed my master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology in 2013. I then became licensed as both a professional counselor and a chemical dependency counselor. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and they play a meaningful role in supporting this practice. My oldest son still lives in Washington State, and his legal and business expertise—combined with modern technology—has been instrumental in helping me build and organize the business side of my work. My middle son went on to serve in the Army, and my youngest son helps me tremendously at the office with technology and maintenance. Adams Counseling and Education Services is truly a family-supported practice, and their encouragement and contributions mean the world to me.

I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, gestalt family systems theory, and solution-focused brief therapy. I tailor my approach to meet each client's individual needs and goals.

Continued Education and Growth: I'm committed to ongoing professional development and stay informed about the latest research and advancements in the field of mental health. By continuously expanding my knowledge and skills, I strive to provide the highest quality of care to my clients.

Thank you for considering Adams Counseling and Education Services, PLLC, for your therapy needs. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy that empowers clients to overcome challenges and live their best lives.
