I primarily work with adolescents, teens, adults and families. I draw from various therapy methods, throughout the process, depending on the individual client's needs. I have a master’s degree in Professional Counseling in which I am licensed through the state of Texas as a Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S). My 10+ years of counseling experiences include working at an Outpatient facility, Inpatient Hospital, Charter School, and Public School.
As a counselor, I view any obstacle a person is facing as an opportunity to develop a rich story of navigating new paths. While all of us face painful and difficult experiences, I believe these provide an opportunity to connect, and discover unconditional acceptance of self and others. I am dedicated to being present while people address painful experiences and move toward healing through discovery of the internal strength each person possesses.
My counseling philosophy is based on the belief that we all want/need to feel accepted for who we are in order to accept and integrate the various parts of ourselves. It is my goal to provide a safe space, free of judgment or criticism, in which clients feel comfortable exposing and exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings. I view the counseling process as a collaborative effort between client and counselor and believe it is most successful when both parties are fully committed.
