I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Tarleton State University. I have worked in the mental health field for over 8 years. I have worked with individuals with a variety of mental health diagnoses. I feel that understanding ourselves and the root causes of our negative emotions is essential for personal growth. Once we make connections and learn triggers to our behaviors then we can implement strategies to help improve negative or maladaptive thought patterns. I am a therapist who will listen and reflect on your everyday struggles. I will ask questions to provoke thoughts and challenge negative thought patterns.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Every person is unique, and they should receive therapy that is individualized to their needs. Treating each client as their own whole, unique person and allowing them to talk through their challenges opens them up to self-discovery, new coping skills, and new perspectives on their own lives.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), and Adlerian therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
