Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. Through the use of humor, genuineness, and empathy, I work to build a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to share their daily experiences. To meet my clients where they are, I encourage open and honest communication in the counseling relationship. Working together, a focus is placed on the client and exploring their values, emotions, and relationships to identify areas where changes are needed to create more positive outcomes.
The first session will focus on establishing rapport, therapeutic support, and the basic goals for counseling. I like to give the client the opportunity to share their concerns, thoughts, and feelings. Sometimes you just need to talk!
My greatest strength is having an ability to relate to client's experiences, recognize the importance of self-worth, and a desire to help others.
I enjoy working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, low self-esteem, or relationships concerns.
My approach is based on Cognitive Behavioral therapy, an evidence- based approach that focuses on helping clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are related so they can make changes in their lives. I enjoy collaborating with clients to identify triggers, appropriate coping skills, and changes in thinking to create helpful responses to life experiences.
