Welcome to my profile. As an LPC licensed in the state of Texas I am committed to helping Texans work towards living their best lives. Having personally experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and starting over, I can empathize and walk side-by-side with you moving forward. You are not alone. Each day we are given new opportunities and challenges. My work focuses on encouraging you and helping you recognize all the forces that impact your environment. From there, we can discover many tools that you can use to build healthier relationships, balance your life and find the inner strength to work towards achieving your personal goals. You have taken a great first step. I believe in you.
I have completed this prompt before. I am having issues logging in to my provider dashboard.
My areas of strength include having empathy for people and the trials we endure through our life experiences. Being an optimist, I earnestly believe in people and their abilities to overcome adversity. In building the therapeutic relationship I am relateable, honest and trustworthy. Having strong observation and listening skills I confirm with clients what I see and hear as truth and validity are essential to therapy.
After learning about the various theories one can use in therapy I landed on focusing on CBT. Although I will pull from other theories as necessary, I believe all clients have the ability to alter the thoughts that get us "hung-up" and can bring our lives to a halt. So together we will examine the thoughts and beliefs we hold so you can live your best life.
