About me
Whatever is happening in your life that has prompted you to reach out, you courageously took the first step! Thank you for being here on my profile. Counseling is a great passion of mine, and I love working collaboratively with people on their journey to identify the source of distress, practice positive coping skills, and make goals to facilitate positive steps towards change.
I earned my master’s degree in counseling from the University of Houston - Clear Lake. I have 7 years of experience as a counselor, working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. In counseling, I use techniques from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and solution focused therapy (SFT). CBT helps people identify negative automatic thoughts and then further helps people challenge those negative thoughts. SFT is a lot like what it sounds - searching for solutions instead of focusing on the problems. Both of these approaches are very client-centered with the belief that you have the power to be a force in your change. I find it helpful to use concrete tools for you to apply to your current situation and any situation that may occur in the future.
In couple's counseling in specific, I use tools from Gary Chapman. It is important in couple's counseling that between sessions, couples are using the concrete tools to practice meeting each other's needs in their relationship. Depending on where a couple is, this may begin very small, and that is okay!
I look forward to partnering with you where you are through where you are going.
