Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based out of Texas. I received my Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and I have been practicing for five years. My goal as a counselor is to help my clients improve coping skills, promote decision making, facilitate behavioral change, and support personal growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will introduce each other and share expectations for the counseling relationship. I will then ask you to please share your reason for seeking counseling services, discuss goals, challenges and obstacles you may be currently facing. We will work collaboratively in tailoring a treatment plan and a safety plan during the following session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In my experience as a counselor, I have learned to work with empathy, compassion, patience and non-judgement. I purposefully strive to create a space where my clients feel safe. heard, and seen. I pride myself in being open-minded, resourceful, self-aware and continuing my education to provide the best counseling services for my clients.
