LPC, 5 years of experience
Hello Beautiful Person! I am dedicated to helping you on your healing journey. I am licensed in Texas as a psychotherapist and addictions counselor. I am passionate about helping others regain their passion and purpose for living their best life, despite past traumas and life stressors. In my free time, I enjoy training for, and running, half marathons and 5ks. I also practice yoga and meditation. I am a mother of two adult children and a committed partner to my supportive and caring husband.
During our first session, I will review your screening assessments (anxiety and depression screeners) then I will complete a biopsychosocial assessment which is just a fancy way of saying, I get to learn all about you! Once that is completed we can establish goals for your therapy treatment. We will talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from therapy.
I am a person who has experienced an eating disorder, anxiety, depression and trauma. I am on a healing and enlightenment journey of my own. Through my education and experiences I bring expertise, experience and empathy to my clients.
I see both in-person and virtual clients. I am a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and is a certified DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) therapist. I utilize Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). In addition, I address issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and difficult life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and effective treatment modality for various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, and more. I adapt the skills to meet each client's unique needs, preferences, and cultural background. Flexibility, empathy, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship are key components of successful CBT interventions.
I have been trained and am a certified DBT psychotherapist. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with concepts from dialectical philosophy to help clients develop skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness
I am a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic modality that utilizes hypnosis to help individuals achieve a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, allowing them to explore and address various issues at a subconscious level.
I have extensive training in Positive Psychology. Positive Psychology interventions (PPIs) are therapeutic techniques and exercises derived from this approach that aim to cultivate positive emotions, foster personal growth, and improve psychological well-being.
