I am currently licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor with the State of Texas. I work with a variety of populations including, but not limited to, children (6 years old and up), adolescents, adults, and families.

I believe everybody is unique and comes to me with different life experiences and struggles. My practice includes targeting therapeutic goals towards individualized needs and for what is “best fit” for each client.  I feel a strong therapeutic relationship is needed in order for treatment to be successful.  I provide an open, safe, and non-judgmental environment in order for clients to express themselves freely.  My therapeutic approach is mostly eclectic, meaning I integrate a variety of counseling techniques within my practice based on the needs of the client.  I tend to focus more on Family Systems Theory, which explores the roles of relationships and their impacts on the client’s mood and behavior, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is an approach that focuses on examining the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.  When working with younger children, I utilize Play Therapy, which allows self-guided expression in a safe and supportive environment while also working directly with parents to develop more effective communication and parenting skills.  Overall, I assist clients in developing self-efficacy in order for them to integrate improved life skills and develop resiliency to life’s challenges.
