I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas with a masters in Counseling and Development from Texas Women's University. I have worked with a variety of clients including those in crisis, depression, anxiety, mood issues, and general trauma. I love to work with young adults and teens, specifically those who enjoy a more direct approach, with a twist of humor and sarcasm. I have also worked with fostering, adopted, and in state custody adolescents. I have special training in substance use, incarcerations, rehabilitation, and veterans in the court system. As a Solution Focused Therapist (SFT) I aim to create realistic goals for us both to open, work on, and achieve through out the therapeutic process. I also draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and use CBT techniques to address someone's needs by encouraging positive self-thoughts and reframing. The counseling journey can be really tough, and it's important you find the right fit. I enjoy learning about each client individually, while empowering change within. I am here to provide support through compassion and empathy each step of the way!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Expect forward communication and empathy. I love combining my compassion with straight-forward approaches. I expect clients to want to improve and hopefully, even set boundaries and advocate for themselves with me. I want to practice these things in a safe space to build others to feel confident in using all skills learned, even outside the therapy space.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel like my authenticity and genuine approach reaches a lot of people who have had harder luck in counseling. I hope and strive for my honest but compassionate approach to reach people who feel misunderstood, outcast, and even estranged.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love woking with LGBTQ+ and adolescents who struggle with behavioral issues or anxiety in school. Ive loved and enjoyed working with youth(s) whom have struggled with the disadvantages of our justice system or even addictive traits.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use SFT as a primary way to assist clients in their therapy goals. I often combine bits of CBT and DBT as well but SFT is my primary preference.
