I am licensed in Texas, and currently work in a high school setting as my full time job. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBT-related issues, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will get to know each other. I will go through a list of questions, and you are welcome to present me with any questions or reservations that you may have. I would love to do my best to ease your anxiety and make you feel welcomed and safe.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I utilize this in a way that is not so "textbook." I will occasionally give you a worksheet, but mostly we will just be using this modality as a guide during sessions. DBT: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. This is based on 4 pillars: Interpersonal relationships, Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, and Emotional Regulation. Again, this will feel natural and will be based on what you need. Solution-Focused Therapy: If you are working toward specific goals, we will formulate and work toward these goals together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a understanding and empathetic person, and many clients have told me that I am easy to get along with. Therefore, I pride myself on making clients feel safe very quickly. Additionally, I am receptive, flexible, and have good communication skills.
