I believe therapy is a welcoming place for anyone to cultivate change within their lives. The process may feel scary or uncomfortable, so my most important goal is to create a warm and emotionally safe environment for sessions. Clients should feel at ease to share their perspective without judgment and be their most authentic selves. Our relationship will be one of genuine connection built on trust, mutual respect, and understanding.

 

Taking a collaborative approach to your care, I will always include your voice in all your treatment decisions. Every client is unique, so I utilize a blend of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and The Gottman Method for couples and families looking to better communication, trust, and connection. Therapy is meant to be temporary, so we will focus on strengthening your autonomy by learning useful coping skills and building the confidence to navigate the challenges in your life. I will act as your training wheels, helping to support and guide you and allowing you to take over when you’re empowered to do so.

 

We won’t just talk in therapy but will dive into the roots of your issues to understand their origins. Change can feel insurmountable at first, so I encourage my clients to focus on small steps towards their goals and celebrate even the smallest victories along the way. If you are ready to invest time and energy into yourself and are willing to put in hard work, you can change your life.

 

LICENSE, EDUCATION, and EXPERIENCE

 

After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Prairie View A&M University and my Master’s in Couples and Family Therapy from The University of Oregon, I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#204330) in the state of Texas. I have a wide range of experience working with diverse populations, including adults, teens, couples, and families in outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential levels of care. I am incredibly grateful for the therapeutic knowledge I have gained over the years and feel honored to support others in their self-improvement.

What will my first therapy session be like?

After looking over your paperwork and informing you about confidentiality, you and your counselor will discuss your concerns, symptoms, personal history, and treatment goals. Your counselor will decide if they are the best clinician to meet your needs, and you will decide if your counselor is a comfortable fit.
