Welcome! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University and have been practicing for 7 years. I help adults (young and mature) struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, esteem issues, career stress and burnout to become the best versions of themselves. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am client-centered and here to support you in taking the first steps to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, explore the concept of confidentiality and the limitations that I am upheld by. We will then explore chief concerns -the specific challenges you're facing and the reason you are seeking out counseling. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will then explore my therapeutic approach and modalities used to assure that I will be a good fit for your needs.
Having worked with individuals for the past 7 years focusing on CBT & anxiety, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious. I provide lots of psychoeducation in my therapy to help figure out the "why" and "how" of things - so it is essential that my clients are eager to learn as well and like to have integrative therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a short-term form of behavioral treatment. It helps people problem-solve. CBT also reveals the relationship between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and the behaviors that follow. We will learn to re-write to script of any negative thoughts you are having and learn healthier, more balanced perspectives
