I have several years of professional experience working with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, and developmental disabilities as an LPC in Texas. I also have personal experience as a foster/adoptive mom with family and relationship issues, trauma, and loss. As someone who has also participated in therapy as a client, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with your therapist and to feel like you can trust them.
The primary framework that I like to use is Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This therapy encourages us to work as a team to come up with solutions to a wide variety of problems; problems that you will eventually feel confident solving on your own. We'll identify feelings, thoughts, and behaviors associated with an event, examine the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work toward getting rid of unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with positive, healthy ones.
My primary goal is for you to always feel seen, understood, and valued - even in the deepest, darkest places. I want to get to know you well enough where I can tailor our sessions to be the most helpful for you in your specific situation, which will require us to work together as a team: you bring your expertise on yourself and your situation, and I'll bring my expertise in therapy!
