LPC, 16 years of experience
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S). I am licensed in Texas and Virginia. I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with no judgment. For example, I help adults struggling with career stress, relational challenges, and challenges with productivity (i.e., starting and completing tasks). I also work collaboratively with clients to identify underlying issues, set goals, and develop personalized treatment plans. I guide clients through the process to help build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and foster personal growth.
We will begin the therapeutic process with introductions, review disclosures & consent, and address any questions or curiosity about therapy. Then dive into the specific challenges they are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan with goals to work through in follow-up sessions.
As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I help clients identify and change negative thought patterns, guiding them to develop healthier coping strategies and achieve lasting change. As a Solution-Focused Brief Therapist, I work with clients in quickly identifying strengths and resources to create practical, goal-oriented solutions, fostering progress.
I enjoy working with adults from all walks of life including young adults in faced with challenges in professional settings, all ages of individuals dating with a purpose, and seeking companionship. My clients are ready for change willing to improve, but lack the "know-how" to implement the tools needed to make their goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about life, relationships with others, and their careers.
I have extended training and multiple years of experience helping my clients overcome distorted and/or intrusive thoughts by reframing unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. This way of being often leads to worry, doubt, and self-defeating thoughts, yielding negative life outcomes both personally and/or professionally.
I have extended training with multiple years of experience in guiding my clients through a process of finding healthy solutions to problems they are facing by setting goals, self-reflection, and progress monitoring toward independence.
