I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years with the last 12 being in full time therapy to both adolescents, adults and family. I received my bachelor's in psychology from Southwest Texas University. I received my masters in counseling from St. Edward's University. My experiences in the last 25 years has included residential treatment, foster and adoption, working with children of incarcerated parents and working with clients who have CPS involvement.
I believe each person has the answers inside of them to make the desired changes in their lives that will bring them peace, joy and healing but don't know how to access those answers. We will work together to get the answers you are looking for. I look forward to working with you.
In our first session I will go over policies and procedures regarding my practice. I will ask clients to tell their story in their own words. I will work on establishing rapport with each client by asking gentle questions designed for me to get to know you. I will provide information about myself that will allow clients to get to know me. Each client will have the opportunity to ask questions important to them in order to establish a therapeutic relationship.
