I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas eager to help you with any difficulty that you may be facing. In my professional experience, I have provided mental health counseling to persons of all ages with a wide range of difficulties and issues. I am a compassionate and flexible counselor. I will provide only what is necessary and what is best for you. My sessions consist of services that are personalized to each unique case. My approach to counseling incorporates evidence-based treatments that are proven to help people overcome any issue. I am here to offer you the support that you need and to guarantee that you get the professional guidance that you need. My sessions will lead you not only to overcome whatever difficulty you are experiencing, but will also help you to develop the best mental health possible. I always ensure that you obtain the results that are best for you. In every appointment, my goal is to help you find the mental strength that will sustain you for a lifetime.
My clients begin to feel better and to start thriving from the very first counseling session that they have with me. I employ the most successful evidence-based techniques from the very beginning, in order to start obtaining results as soon as possible. During the first counseling session, we not only meet formally and begin discussing what bring you to counseling, but I do a professional intake in the form of a therapeutic dialogue which allows you to start experiencing relief and answers. I obtain these results by asking the questions that lead to the most essential answers. Being in the safe and confidential environment that you find from the very first session with me, provides you with an opportunity to begin addressing in a unique way the challenges that you are having.
I have provided counseling services without interruption to a variety of people in many diverse settings since 2015. During these almost ten years of experience I have gained skills as a counselor that only time and extensive practice can provide. As time has gone by, I have perfected more and more the application of Cognitive Behavior Therapy to each unique case. Most of my practice has taken place in the state of Texas and so I am most familiarized with the ways in which living here can impact people's experiences. I chose this career because by nature I am an excellent listener and a vary compassionate human being. I have never been a judgmental person but rather an empathic one who always understands that every single person has a very unique background and is like no one else.
If you feel stuck in life right now, if you feel trapped, if you are experiencing distress, constant sadness, anxiety, or even fear, I am the counselor that you have been looking for. I have the experience and the knowledge to help you find freedom from what is holding you down and to obtain the answers that will lead you to be joyful and more calm. I am also very experienced in helping people to gain control that they have lost. If your emotions are controlling you, instead of you controlling them, or if you have lost control of the direction your life is going, I have the tools that will put you in charge of your life. I help people of all ages and all cultural backgrounds. I also help people with a variety of emotional challenges or life problems. I have a lot of experience counseling persons who struggle with anxiety, depression, or both of those conditions. I am also an expert in helping people who have had traumatic experiences and past emotional wounds of all kinds. More recently, I have focused a lot on providing services to young professionals who are experiencing distress in various areas of their lives including relationships and career. I also help older adults with any situation that simply makes their lives more difficult. Due to my compassion and my flexibility, I am able to adapt to the needs of each person in order to offer counseling that is personalized and that focuses on serving the unique needs of each individual.

This is the first method in which I was trained during my studies, over ten years ago. I have been successfully using this method ever since then.
I use this method to compliment Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, by helping clients to address more in-depth the causes of their present challenges or difficulties.
I use techniques from this method that in many situations help to speed up the achievement of important treatment goals.
I incorporate the wisdom that comes from the Christian faith in order to ensure the best results.
