Hi there! I'm so glad that you are interested in beginning therapy! It can be a little bit scary but totally worth it. Here are a few things to know about me as a therapist: I've been practicing for 16 years and have my master's in Marriage and Family Therapy that I received from Texas Tech University. I specialize in working with couples, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, stress and women's issues. I'm also LGBTQ+ friendly.
My style of therapy is what is called "person centered" meaning that I tailor my work with clients towards their goals and styles of therapy that work best for them. My goal is to help my clients feel emotionally safe and that they can share whatever they need to without judgement. I also enjoy utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
Client can expect to feel validated in their perspective and emotions and, hopefully, a bit of weight being lifted after being able to talk through things. I work with my clients to establish their goals for therapy and make suggestions on paths we can take together to achieve those goals. It's also ok to start therapy and not be sure what direction that you need to go. We can figure it out together.
