Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas .I began my counseling career working in addiction recovery for a residential treatment center. During my time there, I began working in private practice working with individuals, focusing on trauma recovery. I have 8 years of experience. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and PTSD through a variety of evidenced based methods. I have recently begun studying ADHD and autism and have worked with multiple adults with late in life diagnosis to understand how this has impacted their current life stressors. I am able to utilize a faith-based approach upon request.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first sessions, we will focus on what brings you to therapy. I will be focusing on getting to know you and your story. In the first session, we will discuss what you would like to get from therapy and discuss how I think I may be able to assist you in reaching your goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of the most difficult things to do in life can be making the decision to reach out and ask for help. I understand this, and strive to create an environment in which my clients feel safe and supported. My clients would describe me as gentle, nurturing, and easy to talk to, but would also say that I am able to challenge them when needed. My goal is assist you in learning to cope with current stressors and assist in processing past hurts that contribute to current struggles when needed.
