About Me
I am a licensed professional counselor living in Texas with 5 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. In my previous professional life, I worked over 15 years in the corporate world. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, communication issues, self-identity, self-image, self-esteem, and multicultural issues. Every individual has strength within them to grow and change.
My counseling style is warm, sometimes direct and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and trauma-informed counseling. However, I am also a strong believer in one's ability to choose in addition to exploring their purpose in life and will be willing to dive into existential or choice theory if necessary. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
