I am a LPC licensed in the state of Texas. Born and raised here I graduated with my masters from Tarleton State University in 2017. I have been within the mental health field since 2013 in various positions while licensed for 7 years. I love working on helping individuals overcome the stress and strain of life and the torment that a mental health struggle can cause. My goal is to help people become the best versions of themselves and find satisfaction in their life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will meet and start with introductions. It can be overwhelming to be asked a lot of questions but my goal is to get to know you, the struggles you face, and ultimately the goals you want to work on and accomplish. This first session will allow us the opportunity to form a plan of treatment that is best suited for you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist I have worked in settings from community mental health, psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse rehabs, and private practice. I have seen and heard just about everything so nothing you say will shock me. My greatest strength is in my sincerity to help you accomplish your goals. I will never judge or make you feel less than for what you have and are going through. I am here though this journey with you side by side and will help to guide you through this rough water.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have a passion for working with clients that feel stuck, hopeless, and are in need of support. I work with those that struggle with the pain of trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and domestic violence. My job here is to help build rebuild your self-esteem, create a sense of safety in your life again, and feel contentment.
