About me

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” Hello!!! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Master's degree at Sam Houston University and have been practicing for over 11 years. I help individuals of all ages navigate through life changes such as relationship struggles, inner battles , career moves, and etc.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

First sessions are geared towards getting to know one another and building rapport. We will also dive into what you want to gain form counseling.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Working with a multitude of individuals in the past 11 years, I have developed the ability to listen and understand the underlaying themes. I firmly believe that our past and current situations do not define us. Instead, it is our ability to rise and push through our struggles that allows us to grow into the person we are destined to become.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with individuals who are at crossroads in their lives, careers, relationships, or even within themselves. My clients are normally confused or overwhelmed with life changes and do not have the functional space to change or move through their reality. They are looking for the support through their journey to make help secure decisions that align with their needs and goals.

My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Solution Focused Brief Treatment helps provide a structured and consistent sessions. This treatment method does not solve problems but allows the therapist and client to discuss and explain rationally each problem or symptom that is brought into the session.

Humanistic

Humanistic therapy allows people to see themselves for who they are are and who they want to me. It allows the sessions to be guided by the thought that a person should be grounded in who they strive to be and not what they experienced by exploring their feelings and meaning to their situations.
