And while my background is in public education, I have transitioned to professional counseling and love it. I am licensed in Texas with 6 years of professional counseling experience, as a school counselor and professional counselor. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My counseling style is witty and enthusiastic, and those that either know me personally or have worked with me professionally would say that I am supportive, committed, and an advocate for positive mental health experiences. Our therapeutic process will be guided by goal setting and establishing strategies and skills to help reach the desired outcome. Remember, where there is hope, there is help, and we will work together towards positive change. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
