Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Master's Degree from the University of North Texas and have been serving North Texas since 1997. I support clients looking for support to manage anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. I provide individual therapy with the mindset that the client is their own expert. Common goals include identifying personal strengths, areas of concern and exploring solutions for optimal growth.
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.
I love meeting new people. My greatest joy is connecting with others in helpful ways. Although our experiences are unique, we are in this world together.
I love working with parents of children ages 0-18 years old who are concerned about how to guide their child in making safe and healthy choices today and in their future. My clients are eager to be the best parent they can be, but don't know how to identify strategies that apply specifically to their unique circumstances.
I use Adlerian Therapy in my work to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, to help clients explore emotions, and to provide support and encouragement to reach personal goals.
CBT works by identifying and addressing how a person's thoughts and behaviors interact to create anxiety. I work with clients to recognize how negative thought patterns influence a their feelings and behaviors. During sessions, CBT skills are practiced, feelings are identified, unhelpful thoughts are challenged, and positive behaviors increase.
Grief is a normal reaction to loss. Although grief can be wrought with sadness, anger, and anxiety, it serves an important purpose. Grieving allows people to come to terms with their loss by figuring out how to move forward in life. Grief Therapy involves expressing emotions around the actual or perceived loss.
Do you have a clear idea of your strengths and how they can be used? In Strength-Based Therapy, we will identify your personal success strategies and discover areas desired growth.
