Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the great state of Texas. I am happy you are reaching out for help into this journey of bringing out the best in yourself and I am here for you! I will provide therapy services to all clients in all locations within the state of Texas. If you feel stuck because of life's experiences causing anxiety, stress, or trauma, I can help. I have always had a heart for helping people and did so throughout my career in the military and then later when I started my counseling journey in 2010 and then received my master’s from Liberty University. Counseling is a ministry that I have a passion for helping people of all ages navigate and overcome a variety of life's challenges. Good mental health positively affects our physical health. It is important for all to have the opportunity to receive mental health services. If a client qualifies, I accept sliding scale. I have been attentive to the needs of both at risk residential and outpatient children, adults, and families, while ensuring a welcoming, trusting, no-judgement environment. I also work to effect positive change using methods or tools empowering Individuals (both adults and youth) and families experiencing unexpected life's trials.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first therapy session we will start out with introductions and getting to know each other. Establishing the client's needs and expectations is important. The first session is the beginning of forming a trusting relationship together and a safe place for the client to process. The client will be able to talk about their interests, strengths, concerns, and goals as well as current struggles or symptoms. We can take our time during the session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having a tremendous passion for helping and finding the underlying cause of what is really going on and processing effectively has been a strength for me. Having compassion, understanding, and an elevated level of patience helps to get these effective results for the client. Identifying and empathizing with the client intuitively has been a strength for me in the therapy room. I have an appreciation of the clients' true selves. Focus and being in the moment mindfulness is important in providing therapeutic services to my clients. Being present and attentive and not imposing my own opinions and values is important. There is no room for judgement in the counseling space. The client will feel valued, respected, and listened to.
