I have spent 23 years providing therapy in the Houston area. I offer a safe, trusting, and supportive environment so you feel heard and understood and can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. I aim to empower clients, drawing on their strengths to navigate challenges, foster personal growth, and promote positive life changes. My approach utilizes evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and holistic approaches.
During your first therapy session, you can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals. We'll explore your background, current challenges, and any relevant history to understand your unique experiences better. I'll explain the therapeutic process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. This session is an opportunity for us to establish a connection and for you to ask any questions you may have. We'll begin the collaborative process of working towards your well-being and personal growth.
As a therapist, my greatest strengths lie in my empathetic and nonjudgmental approach, fostering a safe and trusting space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. I am skilled in incorporating evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and eclectic therapy. My commitment to ongoing professional development ensures that I stay informed about the latest therapeutic techniques and approaches, providing clients with the best possible support towards personal growth and positive change.
My dream clients are open to exploring their thoughts and feelings. Teenagers often benefit from establishing healthy coping skills, improving communication skills, and improving their self-confidence. My ideal clients with adults are those seeking personal growth, wanting support with life transitions, processing past trauma, parenting challenges, loss, or issues coping daily. I appreciate clients who are willing to engage in honest conversations. They want to understand themselves better and establish healthier coping strategies. I value resilience and a sense of humor.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is like a superpower that helps you feel better when you're sad, especially if you are struggling with depression. It works because it knows that our thoughts, feelings, how our bodies feel, and what we do are all connected. So, if you're having a tough time with an issue, CBT can help you change your thoughts and make you feel better.
Eclectic therapy is customized based on your personality, challenges, and goals. This flexible method draws from approaches like CBT and mindfulness, adapting as your needs evolve. This consists of combining different strategies. Eclectic therapy provides a client-centered path to emotional, cognitive, and behavioral well-being. Embrace your journey!
Trauma-informed care recognizes the impact of past trauma on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It focuses on creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. The goal is to build resilience, foster self-awareness, and support your well-being with compassion and care.
