I am a passionate and hopeful Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who loves to help facilitate change. For 10 years, I have worked with various populations from individual and families, women and children that survived domestic violence, adolescents at risk and those with substance use issues. One treatment approach that I believe in whole heartedly is Cognitive Behavior Therapy, being that our actions are rooted in what and how we think. It is not until a person restructures their thoughts that their actions change. I also think that Positive Psychology is vital to success. Most people seek therapists because there is a problem. I find it beneficial to focus on successes and strengths to get motivated to conquer life's challenges. I can help you identify ways to navigate through this journey of life. The clients who I find to be the best fit for my services are those who meet the following criteria: 1. They are READY & MOTIVATED to change: My ideal clients are those who have recognized the need for change and are highly motivated to take action. They have already taken the first step by seeking my assistance, and they are eager to get started on their journey towards personal growth and development. 2. They INVEST their TIME & RESOURCES in themselves: My clients are committed to investing their time, energy, and resources in their own personal development. They understand that achieving their goals requires effort and dedication, and they are willing to put in the work required to succeed. 3. They DESIRE to move from surviving to THRIVING: My clients have a clear vision of where they want to be and are determined to reach their full potential. They are not satisfied with simply getting by, but instead, they strive to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. 4. They have a GROWTH MINDSET: My clients have a mindset that is focused on growth and improvement. They are not afraid of challenges or setbacks, but instead, they see them as opportunities to learn and grow. They are open to feedback and are willing to make changes to their approach in order to achieve their goals.
