I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the great state of Texas. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the University of Texas-Pan American and a minor in mathematics. I have 20 years of experience in the mental health field and I have enjoyed every bit of it! I have been a case manager, skills trainer, an emergency psychiatric screener for the mental health authority of the Rio Grande Valley, Tropical Texas Behavioral Health. I have also worked in the field substance use doing individual and group sessions. My career as a therapist started in 2012. Since then, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide array of concerns to include: Stress, Anxiety, Depression, LGBT Issues, Gender Identity Issues, Trauma, Physical and Emotional Abuse, Relationship Issues, Grief, OCD, and Parenting Skills.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session will start with the completion of an intake assessment, a discussion of the limits of confidentiality, and the development of treatment goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My high level of objectivity, strength based approach, and solution-focused are my greatest strengths. I enjoy teaching my client skills problem-solving and coping skills not for a day, but for a lifetime!
