Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, Washington, Delaware, and Virginia.
I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and working with children. I have over 14 years of experience working with various populations and in a variety of settings. Most recently I've worked with people of all ages in private practice on issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, transitions, and parenting. Previously, I have worked with kids in residential facilities, survivors of sexual abuse, offenders in secure facilities, substance-abusing teens in schools, and youth and their families in a community mental health center.
My primary mode of treatment is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with a very person-centered approach. I see my job as helping you meet the goals you've defined and working together to gain a better understanding of the challenges in life and improve your overall wellbeing.

Approach
My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based. I believe that positive change comes from unconditional positive regard and connecting with someone who allows you to feel heard and understood. It is my view that a therapist does not solve all of the problems, but joins you in a journey as therapy is a process where you and I work together to collaborate in your treatment and determine what works best for you in your unique circumstances.
For many of my clients with anxiety-related issues, I have found that a cognitive-behavioral approach is often most helpful. In other cases, positive change comes from identifying the healthy coping skills and tools that work best for you. -
