Hello, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. With six years of experience in the field of mental health, I have had the privilege of working extensively in a mental health clinic. My journey as a therapist has been deeply rewarding, allowing me to assist individuals in overcoming challenges and fostering positive change in their lives. I am passionate about providing empathetic and evidence-based counseling to help clients navigate their emotional struggles and find resilience amidst difficulties. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your concerns, and together, we can collaboratively work towards your mental and emotional well-being. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, my primary goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. We will begin by discussing the reasons that brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask some questions to better understand your background, experiences, and the challenges you're facing. This initial conversation helps me gain insight into your unique situation, allowing me to tailor our future sessions to your specific needs. During our first session, we will also discuss the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and your rights as a client. It's an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about therapy and to clarify what you're comfortable sharing. Together, we will collaboratively establish goals for our work, outlining a roadmap for your therapeutic journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, my practice is deeply rooted in the belief in God's love as a guiding force. I draw strength and inspiration from this faith, allowing it to illuminate my path as I assist my clients. With this unwavering faith, I approach therapy with compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to help others. I believe in the inherent worth of each individual and their capacity for growth and healing, understanding that God's love provides a foundation for resilience and transformation. My strength lies in creating a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their struggles and vulnerabilities. Together, we tap into the wellspring of God's love, fostering a sense of hope and empowerment that enables my clients to overcome challenges, heal wounds, and rediscover their inner strength.

Faith based therapy
Faith-based cognitive behavioral therapy combines the principles of CBT with your spiritual beliefs, offering a holistic approach to healing. In our sessions, we will identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, aligning them with your faith-based values and teachings. This process empowers you to develop a stronger, more resilient mindset grounded in your spiritual foundation. We'll explore how your faith can influence your perceptions, guiding you toward healthier coping strategies and decision-making. Together, we will integrate your spiritual beliefs into practical, evidence-based techniques, fostering personal growth, emotional healing, and a deeper connection with your faith. Through this approach, you can find strength, peace, and purpose in your spiritual journey while addressing life's challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
"During our therapy sessions, we will primarily focus on utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques infused with your faith-based beliefs. This means we'll work together to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, irrational beliefs, and unhelpful behaviors that may be causing distress. By integrating your spiritual values into the CBT framework, we can explore how your faith informs your thoughts, emotions, and actions. This integrative approach will empower you to reshape your thinking patterns in line with your faith, leading to positive changes in your emotional well-being and behavior. Through this process, you will gain practical tools rooted in both CBT and your faith, helping you navigate challenges, cultivate resilience, and find peace on your spiritual journey."
