About
I am a veteran and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 6 years of experience as a therapist. While pursuing an education to become an LPC, I spent more than 4 years working in the mental health field providing case management, advocacy, and crisis response services to individuals living in rural communities. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, self-esteem, substance abuse, and ADHD. I enjoy working with people of all ages. Most positions I’ve held within the field have allowed me to gain experience of working with a wide age range of individuals.
My therapy style is comforting, yet direct and interactive. I believe in meeting a client where they are at, understanding that trust is an essential part of a healthy counseling relationship, and the timeline for developing that trust looks different for everyone. My approach is integrative, utilizing techniques mainly from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapies. Whether you already know what to expect out of therapy or not, we’ll work together to identify realistic goals and techniques that fit into your life.
For many of us asking for help, especially when it comes to our mental well-being, isn’t easy. Whatever it is that led you here, I encourage you to acknowledge that you've taken that first step. I encourage you to give yourself credit for this. I encourage you to be mindful, to be honest, and to acknowledge each step you take throughout your journey. The little things come together faster than you think. When you’re ready for that next step, I look forward to supporting and encouraging you through the process.
“If you change nothing, nothing will change.”
