Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I have a desire to see people find true healing. Through my own personal trials and professional experiences, I have developed a passion for working with adolescents and adults. I am very excited to help people through providing hope, healing and restoration. After several years of living in Los Angeles and working in the entertainment industry, I realized this was not for me. I was then led to pursue counseling and earned my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology.
I’ve spent 15 years working in a variety of settings. I have worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting with children, adolescents and families with severe behavioral and emotional issues. I have counseling experience from non-profit organizations where I worked with victims of Domestic Violence. I have also worked as a primary therapist at a Residential Treatment Center where we treated adolescents with eating disorders. From 2010 to 2020 I worked part time with adolescents and adults as a Christian counselor.
I use a person-centered, holistic, and integrative approach in treatment. I blend elements from different approaches and tailor the treatment according to each client's needs. I would describe my style as warm and supportive. I may use different models to evaluate and address the issues and concerns you bring to the counseling session as well as use proven psychological theories in the therapeutic relationship. As my client, I will work with you to define the areas of concern to focus on. Then, we will actively work together to resolve them. We will use a variety of techniques and strategies to address your concerns including homework.
I'm available to counsel individuals from all backgrounds and stages of life. I look forward to working with you!
