I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Fort Worth, TX that has been practicing for over 16 years. I work with adults facing a wide range of psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression, general life stress, and finding their way through difficult life transitions, providing a straightforward yet empathetic approach to help you tackle challenges head-on. I use techniques like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered therapy to offer practical tools and meaningful support in a way that feels honest and approachable.
In your first session with me, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your current challenges, personal history, and goals so we can begin to create a clear plan tailored to your needs. It’s also a time for you to ask questions, share your concerns, and let me know what you’re hoping to get out of our work together. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and supported as we start this process.
I believe my greatest strengths as a provider are my ability to be both direct and empathetic, creating a space where clients feel heard without judgment. I’m skilled at helping individuals navigate difficult emotions and life challenges in a practical, solution-focused way, offering real tools for real change. My approach is collaborative, so clients can expect to be an active part of the process, and I’m committed to tailoring my methods to each person’s unique needs and goals.
I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients address negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be holding them back. In my practice, I use CBT to guide clients in identifying unhelpful beliefs, reframing their perspectives, and developing healthier coping strategies. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, or life transitions, CBT provides a structured, practical approach to creating meaningful change and fostering emotional resilience.
I am skilled in using Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence about change. This approach is especially effective for individuals navigating life transitions or feeling stuck in patterns they want to shift. Through MI, I create a non-judgmental, collaborative space where clients can clarify their goals, uncover their intrinsic motivation, and build confidence in their ability to make meaningful progress at their own pace.
My foundation in person-centered therapy allows me to create a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and self-healing, and I focus on fostering a genuine therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding. By honoring each client’s unique experiences and strengths, I guide them toward greater self-awareness, empowerment, and personal growth.
