Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in Texas. I have lived here for 24 years, but my roots are in New York. I received my Masters from Pace University and am currently a PhD candidate at Capella University. I have been working as a counselor for over 20 years. The majority of my virtual counseling experience is helping young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. I also work full-time in schools, and have extensive experience in foster homes, helping children and their families.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Before we meet for our first session, I request that you fill out a psychosocial form. This gives me an idea of your history, and a better understanding of why you are coming to counseling. During our first session, we will use the form as a guide for you to tell me what you expect from me and what goals you'd like to achieve. This helps us get to know each other better, and sets a positive foundation for our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths is that I am an excellent listener, I am laid back, and I truly am rooting for you to feel happy and successful. I want you to feel encouraged to be genuine and open about yourself, and feel assured that I care about your thriving well-being. You will feel comfortable working with me to identify your positive attributes and maximize them to reach your desired result. My goal for you is empowerment and gaining the confidence to make transformations.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Positive Psychology
I use different methods, depending on the situation. However, I like positive psychology because it already incorporates Humanistic, Mindfulness, and CBT. I have studied it, and try to use it as the foundation for my practice.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Redefining thoughts to change behavior and emotion is very important. It is incorporated into my practice with most of my clients. I also use DBT and REBT.
Gestalt
I believe that clients learn a lot by the experiential process of using Gestalt techniques. I also incorporate techniques from Brainspotting, EMDR, and EFT.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT is helpful with clients that need to stay focused and see faster results. I sometimes incorporate Motivational Interviewing with this to address addictions and other compulsions.
Trauma Informed Care
I have worked with students after a school shooting, and children/teens in foster care, so I have had extensive training in trauma and grief counseling. When working with younger children, I incorporate Play Therapy.
