LPC, 10 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience working with adolescents and young and middle-aged adults. I earned an M.Ed. in School Counseling from Texas Christian University, a Professional Counseling Credential from Texas Wesleyan University, and a B.S. in Education from Langston University. I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, self-esteem/self-empowerment, job skills, divorce, and an array of other issues.
Our initial meeting will be a meet and greet, followed by the specific challenges you are encountering. This process will enable me to develop a customized plan for us to address in our follow-up sessions.
My diverse experience and ability to connect with people from different backgrounds have allowed me to work effectively with a wide range of groups. This ensures that I address each individual's unique needs, while providing a safe, confidential, and impartial space for self-expression. My aim is to equip you with the necessary tools to overcome challenges and improve your quality of life through a systematic plan that monitors your development.
I am passionate about working with teens and adults struggling with self-esteem, self-acceptance, or life challenges. I am here to help them navigate the ups and downs of their life while introducing clarity and self-understanding by empowering them to find their inner strength.
I use CBT to gain your thoughts on shaping this current moment and how I can help you improve it. Techniques such as cognitive restructuring and journaling help identify those thinking patterns and motivate the client to change.
I use SFBT as a goal-directed, collaborative approach to help clients identify solutions within. Often clients forget that they've had past success and they are resilient because of it.
I use person-centered to empower by encouraging clients to be the experts in their lives.
