I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with five years of experience working as a therapist in Texas. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, addiction, self-harm, and others. My personal experiences being bi-cultural also allow me to connect with clients who struggle with identity issues.
My approach to therapy is based in Existential Therapy. Existentialism focuses on purpose and meaning in life. It is often paired with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as well as, CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My therapy style is warm, genuine, and I always strive to provide a safe and judgement free space for my clients to feel comfortable sharing their story.
