(she/her)
Hi, my name is Jenny and I'm so happy you're here! I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and have been in the helping profession for the past six years. My clientele has ranged from the age of five to the age of 71. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, chronic mental illness, PTSD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, sexual abuse, survivors of human trafficking, and emotional abuse. No matter what you are going through, I truly believe that therapy can be beneficial to anyone who seeks it. We all need a little support at some point in our lives and reaching out for it could be the best next step for you. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My counseling style is warm and engaging, with a focus on the therapeutic relationship needed for our work together to be meaningful and effective. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, no matter what your background is or the details of your story. I seek to understand who you are and what you need so I can help you achieve your goals and have the life you want.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and client-centered counseling. I strongly believe that it is important to look at how you think and feel, in addition to how you behave. For lasting change to occur and to set you up for continued success, it is vital to address your inner world as well as your external world. I hope to help you better understand your experience and equip you with the tools to navigate it more effectively so you feel confident that you can overcome any challenge that comes your way.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Therapy works because two people come together and work as a team, both providing valuable insight and expertise. You are the expert on your own life. You know your story, what has happened, what is happening, and what you want to happen. You know what you have tried, how you have struggled, and the things that keep getting in your way. I have the knowledge and tools to share with you, and the ability to meet you where you are at, listen and hear what you are saying, provide a different perspective, and support you every step of the way. When combined, real change can occur and you get to decide how you want to write the rest of your story.
