I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Texas, I work with adults and geriatric clients. I am also active in the LGBTQ plus community and have a lot of gay clients both male and female. I have been practicing for over 22 years and graduated from the University of New Orleans in 2002 with a Master's in Education Counseling.
Our first session will be an intake where I gather information so that I can get a better understanding of what the client's needs are for therapy. Also, I obtain a history which I use as a roadmap to where a person maybe on their journey to happiness and positive wellbeing.
I have been practicing for over 22 years and I have knowledge as well as insight to help my clients with meeting their goals for therapy.
