Hey there! I would love to work alongside you to meet your mental, emotional, and overall health goals. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor In Texas for over 10 years. I have a passion for nature, fitness and nutrition as resources to lead a more balanced and healthy life. In addition to an eclectic client centered style of counseling, I have been trained to better understand trauma and how it affects the brain and in turn, behaviors. I am currently certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desentization Reprocessing) therapy. The majority of my experience has been in working with youth and their parents to understand their behaviors and overcome trauma; however, I am eager and ready to help all ages. If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma related symptoms, low self esteem, or health challenges, I am confident I can help.
Our first session together will be focused on building trust and safety. After introductions, we will talk about any challenges getting in the way of you being at your best. I will ask you about your therapeutic and life goals and we will work together to develop a plan to meet your unique needs. You will also have an opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding our time together.
I can help teens and adults identify the problem, understand the root cause and see progress in their personal goals. I am patient, respectful and accepting of everyone I work with.
My ideal client is young adults ages 18-25 years old experiencing anxiety, low self confidence and or relationship conflict.I love working with motivated individuals to better understand how their unhealthy thought patterns lead to behaviors that are not serving them. I also have a high interest in working with both teens and adults to create healthy relationships and a balanced life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help clients better manage emotions by challenging and creating new thought patterns. I have used this treatment method, as needed, with my clients over the past 10 years. CBT is effective in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, addiction and other emotional difficulties.
Eclectic
I have an eclectic style of therapy. I use techniques developed over the years working with clients to best meet their unique needs. I believe forming a therapeutic relationship is the foundation to a successful therapuetic experience.
EMDR
I practice EMDR therapy to help process past experiences, manage anxiety, and rewire the brain for more positive, adaptive beliefs
Trauma-Focused CBT
I have training and experience using Trauma Focused CBT to help clients overcome behavior patterns that are trauma related. This treatment method is typically most effective with children and adolescents, but I have seen improvement with adults as well.
