I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 9 years of experience in a partial hospital setting, inpatient setting, and private practice setting. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy in addition to others depending on the needs of the individual. I graduated from UTSA with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and pursued my Master's degree in Guidance and Counseling at Texas A&M San Antonio.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Typically during an initial session, this is a chance for me to get to know them a little more and discuss what brings them to counseling and what kind of goals we can set up together and figure out a plan on how to meet those goals in our counseling sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been told by other clients that I am easy to talk to and create a safe space for them to be able to talk about things and feel comfortable. I have 9 years of experience in the mental health field and can bring a lot of eclectic and holistic approaches in developing a way to meet goals and how to use coping skills.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I typically work with clients who are struggling with mood disorders and are trying to manage their symptoms and behaviors. Sometimes talking about how their mood disorders or life stressors/changes is a way for them to have thought provoking discussions, self exploration and also learn coping skills to help them when they are struggling on those harder days.
