I'm passionate about having a judgment free counseling space where clients can feel safe and at ease to be open about who they are without feeling pressure to mask. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology from SUNY Albany and my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from C.W. Post Long Island University. I moved to Texas in 2012 and have continued to counsel and grow my practice.
I will use an Eclectic Cognitive Behavior Therapy approach to counseling, adapting to the needs of my clients. Through personalized treatment goals and plans I will assist you in developing skills for positive coping, assertiveness, boundary setting, anger, stress, and time management. Development of these skills help clients to no longer feel overwhelmed by life stressors instead they're able to manage them effectively.
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to create a judgement free space in which my clients feel comfortable to be themselves and express themselves freely. Being able to speak freely about their struggles without the fear of judgement allows for a greater therapeutic rapport. This encourages a therapeutic bond where my clients no longer feel judged and alone but instead feel supported and able to tackle the issues that led them to seek therapy.
Clients typically reach out to me when they are feeling overwhelmed by life stressors and feel something needs to change. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I encourage patients to explore their personal reasons for wanting change in their lives. Together we identify goals that will inspire those changes. This allows for a collaborative relationship in which the patient is directly involved in their treatment and goal setting. I counsel patients 18 years of age and older.
