I believe in meeting people where they are at. The most important aspect of therapy is trust and respect in a non judgmental environment. My philosophy is that most people have the answers to their problems deep within. Cognitive Behavioral therapy is an effective approach to help individuals tap into their true inner selves, where solutions can be found.
I possess a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University in Nebraska. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas, as well as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas.
