Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Master's from the University of Texas in San Antonio. I have been practicing counseling for over 23 years. I help people of all ages (3 and up) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger and Autism and help them become the best versions of themselves. I look forward to meeting with you and helping you achieve your goals.
Clients can expect me to get to know where they have been, where they are and where they would like to be. I always describe my first session as a meet and greet. I will ask questions about clients counseling experiences, if any, and how those experiences were for them. I will ask about how you have been eating and sleeping and how work and/or school is going for you. I will ask questions about any mental health symptoms that you might be experiencing. Just remember that the first session is just to get to know you so we can start working together to make things better for you!
I take the time to listen to each one of my clients and to get to know what they are wanting out of the counseling experience. I work towards helping clients establish goals and reach those goals.
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for numerous years. It helps clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their emotions and/or thoughts. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other.
I believe in letting therapy go in the direction that the client chooses and then implementing other techniques.
