Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in South Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and have been practicing for 5 years. I love helping individuals learn how to develop the clinical skills needed for navigating everyday struggles through the lens of their spiritual lives. Your story matters. The issues of your heart matter. Let's work together to uncover the grace and celebrate the victories.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am committed to helping individuals learn how to develop the skills needed for navigating everyday struggles through the lens of their spiritual lives. My work focuses on a mixture of uncovering positive, grace filled moments in the client’s story and targeting the ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs that are causing the separation from the flow of an empowered life. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. I’m passionate about adult individuals struggling with religious trauma and confusion in their walk with God.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with adults of any age, who typically are of the Christian faith. My clients are eager to address their issues (depression, anxiety, relational issues, biblical issues) and improve them, but need help incorporating biblical and clinical based tools to make their goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their current situations. You don’t have to be a Christian to work with me, I welcome all faiths and cast no judgement on anyone’s beliefs. I invite you and offer the invitation to consider working with me, it would be my great honor to meet you.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
I have used Person Centered Therapy for as long I have been a counselor and I use it as my primary treatment method because it adheres to the belief that the client deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. So many of us have never been given the grace of just be "listened to" and respected for our own personal journey in life; and Person centered therapy has proven to be a fantastic treatment model to unearth great potential and healing in the clients I have worked with.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to successfully help clients reframe cognitive distortions and many negative patterns they have found themselves in.
