LPC, 1 years of experience
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I have been providing compassionate and effective therapy for over 8 years. My journey into cognitive behavioral therapy was driven by a desire to empower individuals to take control of their own lives, understand their thoughts and behaviors, and achieve long-term results.
In our first session, we will gather information through a conversation about your past, present, and future goals. I take a curious approach to all of the experiences that have shaped someone into their present self.
I feel like my strengths as a provider come from 8 years of interacting with clients with a genuine desire to improve their lives. I try to help challenge clients to challenge their automatic thoughts and assumptions, and this is often when crucial change occurs.
I love working with clients who feel ready to make changes, and are ready to learn more about themselves. I am best able to work with those who are open to learning new coping skills, techniques, and strategies to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. They're receptive to implementing changes based on guidance from our conversations.

In my sessions, I first gather information to understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We then can work to challenge and reframe negative thinking patterns. I want my clients to develop practical strategies and exercises to modify behaviors and beliefs, for long-lasting positive changes. The goal is to empower you with tools to manage life and enhance your problem-solving skills.
