I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Texas, I work with adults and geriatric clients. I am also active in the LGBTQ plus community and have a lot of gay clients both male and female. I have been practicing for over 22 years and graduated from the University of New Orleans in 2002 with a Master's in Education Counseling.
Our first session will be an intake where I gather information so that I can get a better understanding of what the client's needs are for therapy. Also, I obtain a history which I use as a roadmap to where a person maybe on their journey to happiness and positive wellbeing.
I have been practicing for over 22 years and I have knowledge as well as insight to help my clients with meeting their goals for therapy.
I use CBT for anxiety and negative thinking. I also use Person Centered for gathering information.
Mindfulness can be very helpful with both anxiety and depression to focus on the present.
Gestalt therapy can be used to help with positive communication between client and family, work and any emotional stressful situation.
Motivational Interviewing is very helpful with clients that are experiencing depression or want to make big life changes.
Every session I have had with a client is always Person-centered above all, ensures a positive relationship between client and therapist.
