I am warm, open, an active listener and I like to challenge those I work with. I create a space where you can openly express yourself so I can learn your thinking patterns and be able to bring light to things that you may not have been able to see on your own. I received my Bachelors in psychology from Prairie View A&M university and my Counseling degree from Lamar University. I am a proud Houston native, mother, and woman of God.
I believe that clients develop their patterns of thinking and behaving through their experiences, their background and through their natural instincts. To approach these patterns of thinking and behaving, I believe we have to start with the way we process our thoughts as different things happen to us. Changing the way you think can ultimately change your lifestyle and as we know mental health is not just a journey but a lifestyle. The methods I prefer to use are Solution-Focused which focuses on getting more rapid results to individual problems and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on the break down of engrained thoughts in order to modify behaviors. These methods stick to me because they drive my practice. I believe challenging our thinking can ultimately change our outcomes.
I like to keep the session open and free flowing throughout the entirety of the therapeutic journey.
