I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps adults work through anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and life challenges. I offer a safe, supportive space to talk, reflect, and grow. Using practical tools and real conversations, I help you find clarity, build confidence, and create lasting change. I offer my services based on years of experience. I offer my services in the States of Texas and Oregon.
In our initial session, we’ll begin with brief introductions, obtain relevent background information, and then delve into the specific challenges you’re encountering. This process will enable me to develop a customized plan for our subsequent sessions.
As an LPC, I help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other challenges by offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk and heal. I listen with empathy and use proven tools to help each client gain insight, build coping skills, and work toward lasting growth and well-being.
I find it meaningful to help adults who want to improve their lives but need support to reach their goals. Many of my clients feel lonely, anxious, or depressed, and often feel stuck. Together, we work towards helping you feel like yourself again and get back to functioning at your best.

For the past several years, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a cornerstone of my therapeutic approach. It has empowered numerous clients to confront persistent thoughts and better regulate their symptoms. Through CBT, we will explore the interplay between your thoughts, emotions, and actions. With this understanding, we’ll work towards altering your cognitive processes, aiming to cultivate a life with reduced symptoms.
As an LPC, I employ Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients navigate emotional turmoil. This therapy blends cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness, enhancing emotional regulation and interpersonal skills through individual sessions. I guide clients to apply these skills practically, fostering a balanced, mindful, and emotionally resilient life.
In my counseling practice, I harness the power of Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients unearth their own motivations for change. This client-centered approach allows me to guide conversations in a way that empowers clients to explore their ambivalence and commit to positive life changes. By actively listening and reflecting, I foster a collaborative environment where clients feel understood and supported in their journey towards personal growth.
In my practice, I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients envision and achieve their preferred future. By focusing on their existing resources and strengths, we collaboratively develop strategies for change. SFBT’s future-oriented questions and emphasis on client successes guide our sessions, allowing for brief yet impactful therapy.
In my counseling sessions, I integrate Mindfulness-Based Therapy to enhance clients’ awareness and presence in the moment. This approach aids in recognizing and accepting their thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering a therapeutic process that encourages personal acceptance and change. It’s a powerful tool for clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders.
