Hello, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio and provide therapeutic support to individuals aged three and up. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger management, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. My goal is to empower each person to achieve meaningful growth and reach their fullest potential. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey.
In our initial session, clients can expect a welcoming and collaborative environment focused on building rapport. I view the first session as an opportunity to get acquainted—understanding your past experiences, current challenges, and future goals. We’ll discuss any previous counseling experiences and how they’ve shaped your expectations. I’ll also ask about daily functioning, such as sleep, nutrition, work or school, and explore any current mental health symptoms. This session is designed to lay the foundation for a personalized therapeutic journey, tailored to support your growth and well-being.
I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance by actively listening to each client and gaining a clear understanding of their expectations for the counseling process. My approach centers on collaboratively identifying meaningful goals and supporting clients in achieving them through personalized and evidence-based interventions.
I am passionate about working with clients who are seeking to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, enhance attention and listening skills, manage anger, and gain greater insight into life on the Autism Spectrum. I also provide support for individuals navigating behavioral challenges, with a focus on fostering personal growth and emotional well-being.

I have incorporated Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my clinical practice for many years, using its evidence-based techniques to help clients identify and challenge recurring thought patterns while effectively managing their emotional responses. Through CBT, we examine the interconnected nature of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, empowering individuals to develop healthier coping strategies and achieve meaningful change.
I believe in a client-centered, Person centered approach, allowing therapy to evolve based on the individual's needs and goals. This framework enables the integration of additional therapeutic techniques as appropriate, ensuring a personalized and responsive treatment experience.
