Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I have worked as a counselor for the past 16 years. I have both school and private practice counseling experience. I work to help teens and adults work through the difficulties they are facing in life to become the best versions of themselves in order to live their happiest and healthiest lives.
Our first session will be very much be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and set goals for future sessions. The first session
I am committed to helping clients work toward their goals and improving on whatever areas have brought them to counseling. I have experience to draw from but am continually learning new strategies to help my clients.
I work well with both teens and adults. I have the most success with individuals who are committed to seeing better outcomes both personally and professionally. I have extensive experience with teenagers and professionals.
I have used this treatment method for a variety of issues facing clients. One common use in practice is working to notice and resist ANTS (automatic negative thoughts) that may prevent clients from addressing issues.
I have used this treatment method to help students "reframe" life events in order to move forward. I have also used "empty chair" techniques to help in boundary setting.
I have used solution focused brief therapy to help clients who are stuck move beyond problems. This includes a focus on being future oriented and using scaling and coping exceptions.
