Therapists in Bedias, TX

My emphasis in a therapy session is to guide clients to discover their purpose and meaning in life. I believe that therapeutic relationships are a powerful tool for change. I encourage clients in their ability to make their own decisions toward progression and accomplishment of goals. In addition to private practice, my clinical experience includes group and individual therapy in various clinical settings. In that setting, I specifically worked with clients affected by alcohol and drug dependency by providing support groups and prevention services. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology and master’s degree in Counseling and Development from Texas Women's University. I am certified in Gerontology; and I obtained this certification from University of Texas at Arlington. My areas of specialty include substance and alcohol abuse, geriatric issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, woman's issues, PTSD, and life transitions.

I am a licensed professional counselor with more than 15 years experience supporting individuals, couples and families in changing their lives for the better. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to be happy and fulfilled and the ability to move in that direction. I tend to use a solution-focused approach when I work with clients, but also draw from a number of other models and approaches, when it is appropriate for the issue and the individual. Respect for each person's perspective is a core value for me. I was trained in family systems and family-of-origin work, and my clients often find that background to be very helpful in understanding and resolving issues. I also use cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) and person-centered therapy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and I work with each individual to find the most meaningful way forward toward effective, lasting change. Some of the issues I often work with my clients to address include: Depression Anxiety Relationship and communication issues Rebuilding after separation and divorce Women's issues Grief and loss Stress management Life phase issues ("empty nest," retirement, later life) I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) Certification. I proudly served in the U.S. Navy for 22 years. During my military career I gained a wealth of knowledge working with sailors suffering from addictions, depression, trauma, and other life challenges. My military experience coupled with my 10 years of community counseling has exposed me to the devastating struggles individuals face. Therefore, my passion is building collaborative counseling relationships to help individuals heal and thrive to reach their highest possible potential. My theoretical orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral Theory (CBT) and Solution-Focused Based Therapy (SFBT). Both approaches focus on solutions to empower individuals to improve their quality of life. The human mind is extremely complex. Therefore, an eclectic approach is often needed. CBT and SFBT are approaches that are ideal for integrating with other approaches as needed. My mission is to provide a safe, judgmental free, supportive environment in which individuals can heal. My degrees include a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education from Wayland Baptist University, Master of Arts in Special Education from Phoenix University, Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling (Marriage and Family) from Liberty University, and Educational Specialist Degree in Teaching and Learning from Liberty University.
