I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas, with a Master's degree from Texas A&M University-Commerce. Over the past three years, I have been dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges related to depression and anxiety, guiding them toward becoming the best versions of themselves. In addition to being an LPC, I am also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), allowing me to provide specialized support for individuals facing substance-related concerns. My approach is goal oriented, emphasizing the development of healthy coping skills to assist clients in regulating emotions, managing daily life stressors, and recognizing the physical symptoms associated with emotional distress. Through personalized strategies and evidence-based techniques, I strive to empower individuals to cultivate resilience, enhance self-awareness, and achieve lasting emotional well-being.
In our initial session, we will review your background information to gain a comprehensive understanding of your experiences, challenges, and strengths. Together, we will establish meaningful goals to work toward throughout our time together, ensuring that our sessions are structured and tailored to support your personal growth and overall well-being.
I approach my work with empathy and understanding, ensuring that each client feels safe and supported while addressing sensitive issues. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where individuals can openly navigate their challenges and work toward meaningful growth. I am committed to helping clients develop effective coping skills to regulate emotions, manage daily life stressors, and recognize the physical symptoms associated with emotional distress. By fostering self-awareness and resilience, I empower individuals to overcome obstacles and cultivate lasting well-being. My mission is to guide each client toward realizing their full potential and achieving a fulfilling, high-quality life.
My clients are motivated to grow and improve, but they may not yet have the necessary tools to turn their aspirations into reality. Many feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious when faced with daily life stressors. My role is to provide them with the guidance, strategies, and coping skills needed to navigate challenges effectively, fostering resilience and empowering them to regain confidence in their ability to manage life's demands.
