Hi! I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for almost eight years. I have significant experience in working with survivors of trauma, such as sexual abuse and abusive relationships. Every day I feel honored to work with my clients to help them heal themselves and find peace in their lives. I believe my role as your counselor is to empower you and walk with you in the journey towards self healing.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will complete a standard intake where I will ask different questions to really get to know you and your history. In the first session, I let you take the lead on how much, or how little, you would like to discuss each topic. This is to ensure you have control and feel safe our first time meeting. From there, we will identify your goals and discuss our treatment plan. After the initial session, my approach is more relaxed and laid-back while continuing on our path to reach your goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

The most important aspect of therapy is for you to feel truly seen and heard. I make a genuine effort every session to create a welcoming feeling of safety that will ultimately allow you to begin exploring and then healing traumatic life experiences. You don't have to do it alone anymore. Allow me to walk with you in your healing journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with individuals who are ready to commit to the therapy process and are ready to find hope and healing. If you have any type of trauma in your history, such as childhood abuse, rape, abusive relationships, survivor of a crime, etc., then I am able to work with you to help you regain the feeling of safety in every day life.
