I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. I have several years experience working with clients on issues relating to behavior, stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, parenting issues, substance abuse and every day life stressors. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions. We will then dive into the specific challenges that you are facing. This will help me develop a plan for us to work though in follow up sessions. I will work to empower you with the tools needed to reduce anxiety and/or depression. I will also help you learn effective ways to change negative thought patterns that could be hindering you from moving forward.
My warm, direct approach will help you address your concerns and develop appropriate solutions to assist you with navigating life in the healthiest way possible. I have experience utilizing Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy.
My biggest strengths are communicating effectively, building rapport, and displaying empathy.
