Everyone in life has a unique story. Sometimes, we need assistance guiding us through those stories. I enjoy helping children, and young adults learn coping skills to manage struggles in life. I have been in public education for over twenty years. I have worked in general education (K-12) and with the special education population (K-12). I began my career as a life skills teacher, special education co-teacher, and finally a special education counselor. The focus of my career has been working with students with behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I have also assisted school staff with their struggles.
The first session I will focus on the issues that the client is presenting with. Discussing their goals for counseling, and the issues they are presenting with.
My strengths as a provider is understanding the education system in Texas. Being a district level special education counselor for ten years, I understand the IEP process.
