11 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in the state of Texas. My office is located in Frisco, Texas and work with a number of clients virtually from around the state. I have a passion for working with couples, and clients ranging from 18yrs old to 70yrs old.
In our first session a client can expect for us to get to know each other and make sure that you feel comfortable in working with me as your therapist. I will seek to understand the nature of the issues you are facing and the goals you hope to accomplish so I know when we are done.
Having worked as a therapist for the past 11 years, I still have a passion for helping others and am always working to improve my skills by seeking trainings, and reading up on new ways to help improve client outcomes. My commitment to doing the best possible job and keeping myself informed on therapeutic strategies along with being able to connect with my clients is my greatest strength.
I enjoy working with individuals that have accepted that something needs to change, and are motivated to make it happen. Those that accept responsibility and accountability to do so are ideal. Together we can create a new way of dealing with the presenting issues to produce a better existence.

I utilize Person-Centered when helping clients process their present issues, providing a supportive environment that is necessary to work through present issues. Person-centered therapy is based in the belief that clients are resourceful persons capable of taking responsibility for their lives and solving their own problems
