Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Masters degree from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and have been practicing for 1 year. I have worked in the non-profit sector and outpatient clinics for over 5 years. I have experience working with clients age 6+, manage difficulties that life can bring and reach desired goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Collaboratively working with clients to develop a plan to get to desired goals one step at a time.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT and it’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Compassion Focused
In Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), I cultivate a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their struggles with kindness and understanding. By encouraging self-compassion, I help clients develop a deeper understanding of their emotions and experiences, fostering resilience and promoting healing. Through guided exercises and compassionate dialogue, clients learn to befriend themselves and develop the skills needed to navigate life's challenges with greater self-compassion and emotional balance.
Humanistic
In humanistic therapy, I prioritize creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions. Through active listening and empathetic understanding, I encourage clients to tap into their inner wisdom and potential for self-actualization. Together, we work collaboratively to foster personal growth, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of oneself and others.
Trauma Informed Care
In practicing trauma-informed care, I prioritize creating a safe and validating environment where clients feel empowered to share their experiences without fear of judgment. I integrate techniques such as mindfulness, grounding exercises, and narrative therapy to help clients explore and process their trauma at their own pace. Through collaboration and empathy, I strive to support clients in building resilience and developing coping strategies to navigate their healing journey.
