I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family conflict, career challenges, and lack of motivation.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution focused. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Adan is a great therapist and a very smart, insightful individual. He knows exactly how to read my body language and phrases and guide me to the best outcome. I've learned to challenge negative thoughts and to associate feelings with tasks in order to feel accomplished while cleaning up my life literally and figuratively. I was weary of the process in the beginning but I find our conversations becoming more familiar and friendly as we've continued my journey. I'm very glad I took the leap of faith to get help and be a better individual overall and I'm very satisfied with how far I've come and how much I've learned. I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to find themselves in a better headspace and also improve their daily lives. I've made strides and I'm excited to continue moving forward with this process. Thank you for everything and I'll see you next session.
