Billie has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas Woman’s University and my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Amberton University. She specializes in working with couples, addictions, trauma, depression, and anxiety. She has significant training in experiential approaches, such as psychodrama and anger management.
As a therapist, she has five levels of specialized training in Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) under Dr. Stephen Vazquez, the modality developer.

She is passionate about healing the underlying trauma that drives the core shame and self-destructive patterns.

She is a true native of Texas and has been married for 28 years to a man she has known since the third grade. They have two sons, a daughter, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and a petite Australian Labradoodle named Jubilee.
