The clients I'm best positioned to serve
As a licensed clinician in the States of Texas and Indiana, I am happy to walk side by side with individuals, couples and families, as they work through the setback(s) in their lives. My approach is strength and competence based and I draw from a variety of models, (CBT, MI, ACT, DBT, EFT, and IFS). I enjoy working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, trauma and grief. For immigrants out there, I know how it feels to move into a different country and acculturate. I have been there and done that, so I have a few lessons I have learned in my own journey that may help you get to where you want to be faster than I did.

My treatment methods
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is my go to model when workiing with couples. This model helpd strengthen their bond, help them resolve conflict and learn how to repair attachment injuries.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT with almost anyone who struggles with depression, anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem. When an individual no longer trusts their Self to manage the their cognition CBT techniques help get back on track.
Christian Counseling
As a Christian myself, I am aware oof when someone is using scripture to preach to me, so I folloow the individual's/couples' lead on what they prefer as we refer to the Bible for solutions to their issues.
Couples Counseling
Couples are my favorite population. I have worked with couple from all walks of life and facing different situations, that I can safely say I am very comfortable working with couples. Even those who had signed their divorce papers have successfully reconcilled.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I use IFS to treat anxiety, depression, trauma and substance use. IFS helps individuals heal the wounded inner parts and restore emotional and mental health.
