Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) living in Texas. I have been practicing for 7 years, mostly with adolescents and young adults in a high school setting. It is my goal to help teens navigate relationships, stress, anxiety and any other struggles that they may have. If you are looking for someone to help your teen open up about what is going on in their life, and are willing to give them the love and time to grow. I believe I can help.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will begin by getting to know a little bit about each other. I will ask some basic background information. When working with clients who are underage, I will include the parent/guardian in the first session in order to get some information from them as well and explain a bit about how I treat confidentiality. Going from there, I will ask what goals the parent/guardian and client has for the counseling/therapy sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, I am proud of my ability to build relationships quickly with my clients. I have a background as an educator and that has given me a foundation for building those therapeutic relationships. I believe that very little progress can be made towards goals or life changes if the trust between client and therapist is not there. Additionally, I am not afraid to stop and adjust goals along the way if it feels like we are aiming too high or too low, or if something comes out in a session and it becomes apparent that we should address it further.
