Hello, I am a Nationally Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in the state of Texas. I have worked in the mental health field for over 14 years. I have worked in the school system as a school counselor and in private practice to help youth and adolescents, individuals and families. I have experience working with a wide range of concerns and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma/abuse, ADHD, relationship issues, grief/loss, parenting concerns and life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. My approaches combine Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am here to support and empower you through your journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then discuss the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create an individualized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I look forward to working with you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in education for 34 years with children, adolescents and teenagers, I've experienced and worked with many mental health challenges and create a plan and goals that leads to progress. In working with adults, I am client centered and listen to help create a plan together to meet goals and work together with your mental health needs.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with adolescents and teenagers who do not have the coping skills needed to overcome their particular issue and don't have the tools needed to set and meet goals needed. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious. I also enjoy working with young adults through mental health needs, especially by taking the first step to bettering your mental health. I want to make the process not confusing or scary. I am here to support and meet you where you are in your mental health.
