I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. I work with a wide population of individuals including, but not limited to, children (10 years old and up), adolescents, and adults of all ages. I do not provide couples or family counseling at this time.  I have been practicing since 2011. During this time, I have worked in the community as a home-based provider, community mental health therapist, substance abuse therapist, college counselor, and private practice therapist. Much of my experience has surrounded helping individuals identify core issues and recover from past trauma.

When clients begin therapy, many of them are searching for a space to fully express themselves and to process their struggles. Many are looking for a safe person to confide in without feeling judged. I believe in the healing power of being listened to and fully accepted. There are multiple strategies and techniques available to help people on their therapeutic journey. The approaches I use most often are pulled from Interpersonal Process Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. These therapies involve examining clients’ thought processes from different perspectives and can help individuals become more aware of the impact their thoughts have on themselves, and how they use these thoughts to then engage in their surroundings. These approaches also help to identify a new sense of empowerment and subsequently help clients learn to use various personal coping skills.
