Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I have over 12 years of experience working as a therapist. Much of my work has focused in treatment of various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, family conflict, substance abuse, phobias, impulse control and life transitions. I find that most of my clients are successful within therapy with the techniques implemented in my sessions, such as unconditional positive regard or empathetic understanding. And it gives me great pride when I see a client achieve self-discovery, healing and positive growth throughout our sessions.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I'm a great active listener and good at restating your words in an effort to help you fully understand your thoughts and feelings.
I enjoy working with young adults and helping them gain more self-confidence, a stronger sense of identity, greater success in establishing interpersonal relationships, and more trust in their own decisions.
My approach mainly involves techniques from Person-centered therapy, and the way you hear it is mainly how it works! My focus will be on you, the client. This approach is a type of non-directive therapy that is empathetically driven toward providing a person with a safe space to talk, self-actualize (realize your full potential), and make positive changes in their life. I truly believe that by providing you a safe environment, free of judgement, you will be able to gain some clarity in what may be causing you to feel overwhelmed and how to better manage your problems.
